30:30 Rule – What is it?

For those of us holding sedentary jobs or lifestyles, it is CRITICAL that we get our bodies moving on a regular basis.

A simple rule to follow is the 30:30 rule. That is, for every 30 minutes you spend sitting, you should then get up and move your body around for 30 seconds.

It doesn‰’t have to be too formal, just gently shaking and wiggling your body (a bit like a professional swimmer before a race) will suffice! This should improve blood flow throughout your body, ease muscle tension and ideally reduce postural fatigue.

If you want some further advice regarding this, one of our osteo’s at Parkdale Osteopathic Clinic will be glad to help.
