Lunch & Learn - Beyond Good Posture - The Science of Staying Healthy at Work
Beyond Good Posture - The Science of Staying Healthy at Work
We’ve all been told to “sit up straight” or maintain good posture, but what if staying healthy at work has less to do with finding the perfect position and more to do with building a body that can handle the demands of your day?
In this interactive Lunch & Learn, we’ll explore the science of staying strong, mobile, and resilient, no matter what your work environment requires of you. We’ll look at how our tissues adapt to the demands we place on them, why building strength and appropriate tension in muscles and connective tissues can improve our capacity to handle load, and how regular movement can help reduce stiffness, discomfort, and injury risk. We’ll also explore why muscle is so important for metabolic health and healthy aging, and why mobility is about more than simply stretching.
You’ll learn:
Why there is no single “perfect” posture, and why changing positions may be more important than holding one ideal position.
How muscles and connective tissues adapt to load, and why building tissue capacity can help us tolerate the physical demands of work and everyday life.
Why strength and muscle mass are important for metabolism, blood sugar regulation, bone health, and longevity.
The difference between flexibility and mobility, and why maintaining active control of your joints matters.
Simple movement strategies and “movement snacks” you can incorporate throughout your workday.
The goal isn't to eliminate sitting or achieve perfect posture. It’s to build a body that is strong enough to handle stress, mobile enough to move freely, and adaptable enough to thrive in the long run. Come ready to learn, move, and leave with practical tools you can put to work immediately.
Katie Thacker & Brandon Sherbrook are the co-founders of Third Space Movement, a movement education and fitness studio dedicated to helping people build strength, mobility, and resilience for life.
Together, they have over 25 years of combined experience coaching individuals of all ages and abilities, from office professionals and active retirees to athletes and rehabilitation clients. Their approach blends the latest movement science with practical strategies that help people move better, reduce aches and pains, and stay active for the long term.
Passionate educators, Katie and Brandon believe that movement should be accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable. Through workshops, teacher training, and community programming, they empower people to take ownership of their health by building stronger bodies that support better work, better play, and a better quality of life.
