"It's not that the actual position we don't want to demonize the position. It's just that you need to move like your system needs movement, right?" - Dr. Tom Walters

"Try to incorporate this multiple times throughout your day. If you're in this position at work, use these as kind of exercises every hour or whatever, every 30 minutes, just to get yourself out of that position." - Dr. Tom Walters

"Your nervous system, right, is it's all continuous. So they do these studies where they put pins in cadavers and move their limbs and you can see the nerves slide." - Dr. Tom Walters

"Something that looks like stretching that we often incorporate are nerve mobilizations." - Dr. Tom Walters
