    Maybe hunching isn't such a bad thing? What position would primitive humans have been in when doing handwork?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 09:31 AM PST

    We have two desk in our office. One is mine and the other is my boyfriend's. He has a PC and I don't, so I use his desk a lot. He has a more traditional office chair that's squishy and has arm rests. Mine is a firm, armless, medical rolling stool thing that is a little bit too high. This has meant that I hunch a bit more when I'm at my desk. Interestingly, I don't feel pain after using my desk.

    After I use my bf's computer, I'm in an extreme amount of pain in my upper back and shoulders. I've Googled desk positioning/posture, adjusted my position, adjusted the chair height, etc. Nothing has worked at preventing the pain I find myself in afterwards.

    I'm able to do a deep, resting squat for hours. It's something I do for probably an hour every day, not for exercise, but just while I'm outside chilling with my dog, or waiting for food to cook. It's the most comfortable position for me. I noticed that, when in this position, your back is rather hunched, yet it doesn't cause pain. In fact, it's almost impossible not to hunch. This also doesn't translate into a propensity to hunch while standing.

    All this got me wondering how primitive humans would have been doing their hand work. They probably wouldn't have been in a resting squat for the entire day, but sitting in different positions. Since humans have evolved with this kind of behavior (making things), we can assume that we have a design to be able to remain stationary for hours, even if shifting every so often.

    Should we be sitting on the floor to do our work? Perhaps floor desks are the most optimal. My only concern was the matter of hunching over, but in my experience, it really hasn't been an issue.

    I'm particularly interested in accounts from other people who have a true, flat-footed resting squat. I'm assuming that this ability will translate better into floor-sitting. Let me know what you think.

    "How I Learned The Full Splits In 30 Days" What do you think about this ? I've heard that PNF isnt so useful and that it makes no sense to do more than 9mn/week of active stretching. But it seems to have worked for him

    Having trouble breathing while stretching-is it normal?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 12:55 AM PST

    When I do any stretch involving my torso it becomes harder to breathe. Is this a common problem? Does it ever go away? It makes already uncomfortable stretching even more miserable.
