Tonight’s Theme

Many desk professionals don’t feel injured, they just feel “old”. A stiff lower back in the morning. A tight neck that keeps returning.  Knees or hips that feel rusty.

Everyone from doctors to the general population, from 20-somethings to 80s+, associate these feelings with aging - like there’s an inevitable downward slope to pain and inability once you’re no longer a teenage healing machine.

Fortunately, this cultural paradigm of “You get worse until you die” is simply not true.

People are largely unaware of the tremendous developments in human longevity and resilience over the past 30 years. In many cases, simple changes can lead to the restoration of meaning and transformed lives.

The good news is that long term trajectory can shift. It is possible to feel actually better as you age. When you understand how deskwork is (literally) shaping your body - and what to do about it - improvement becomes possible again.

Who Should Attend

• Tech, finance, and other professionals with high cognitive load and low movement.

• “Fit & Active” desk workers with nagging issues in their sports, CrossFit classes, or weight lifting workouts.

• Injured workers with problems like sciatica, low back pain, and plantar fasciitis.

• “Extreme” desk workers including dental staff and other ‘bent shape’ workers.

• HR Reps, Business Development Associates and other leaders looking for a better way to think about staff health & wellness

Event Format

This is a focused, in-person evening designed to learn something valuable and connect with like-minded people. This is not a workout class or a sales pitch.

What the evening will look like:

• A 45-minute talk on how deskwork shapes your body over time

• Practical takeaways you can begin applying immediately

• Opportunities to ask questions about your specific situation

• Time to connect and network with other professionals

• Light refreshments and a relaxed atmosphere

Come to listen, learn, and connect with others health oriented individuals.
