This episode tackles the pervasive issue of musculoskeletal problems caused by our increasingly sedentary and forward-leaning lifestyles, emphasizing the negative impact this posture has on our back, neck, and overall musculoskeletal health, leading to chronic pain and other complications. Dr. Sanders shares invaluable advice to combating this pain through regular stretching, specifically of the pectoral muscles, and strengthening the posterior chain, including the upper back and neck. He introduces practical exercises such as chin tucks and shoulder stretches and recommends various pull exercises to balance out the commonly overworked front muscles of the body. The podcast also covers the importance of addressing weaknesses in specific muscle groups like the Vastus Medialis and adductors to avoid knee pain and other lower body issues.

Dr. Sanders not only sheds light on common ailments like tendonitis and tendinosis resulting from neglect and improper exercise but also shares his personal journey of recovery from knee problems through dedicated strengthening routines. He stresses the importance of maintaining muscle mass and strength as we age to prevent injuries and improve overall health and provides tips on building muscle effectively through consistency and going to failure during workouts. This episode serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of musculoskeletal health and offers listeners a roadmap to a more balanced, pain-free body.
