Many of us spend more time sitting than any generation before us. Long hours at desks, working from home, commuting, and scrolling our phones can leave us with tight hips, shallow breathing, stiff backs and aching shoulders.

In this episode of The Black Massage Therapist, I explore how modern life has changed the way we move compared with our ancestors 150 years ago, why our bodies often feel tired despite doing less physical work, and simple ways to interrupt the cycle.

You'll discover:

• Why sitting changes the way we breathe.
• The surprising connection between tight hips and stress.
• Why standing up isn't enough.
• Easy movement snacks you can do throughout the day.
• How massage and mindful movement can help restore balance.

Whether you work in Canary Wharf, from home, or spend hours caring for others, this episode offers practical ideas to help you move and feel better.
