As a guest podcast speaker of A Coach, A Nutritionist, and an Expert Walk into a Podcast, I provide a practical overview of functional movement, why it matters, and provide a few practical functional movement exercises while at work (or other places) that will restore and increase range-of-motion, promote flexibility in commonly tight areas, strengthen your body, and help build and maintain healthy posture.

Listen to my 40 minute episode, released on April 10, 2025.

Sore neck and shoulders. Tension headaches. Low back pain. Sore wrists.

How many of these do you experience on any given day at the end of work? Or throughout the work day?

Tech neck, anyone? Can’t just be us!

This week on A Coach, a Nutritionist, and an Expert Walk Into a Podcast, Stephanie Cota, an expert working at the intersection of corporate wellness, healthcare, and personal training, is back, joining Mike Krause and Dr. Helena Fowler, DCN to chat functional movement in the workplace.

In this Episode:
What is functional movement?
The benefits of functional movement and why it matters, especially when we’re at work
Reducing chronic pain with functional movement
Practical ways to reduce strain from repetitive movements
Stephanie coaches us through super-simple actual exercises to do at your desk or office … please don’t try these while you’re driving or engaged in other activities that would make them unsafe.

As always, respect your physical boundaries; if you have questions about whether or not you should try one of these exercises, please consult with your qualified healthcare provider. We aren’t doctors, so none of this should be construed as medical advice.
