Went to an orthopedic doc for an achy leg/back/knee.

Gave me the usual prescription: strengthen some core muscles, physical therapy, anti inflammatory meds for a couple weeks, and should be good to go.

Also, however, he prescribed that I read the book Deskbound, by Kelly Starrett.

Reading that book will definitely give you an incentive to not sit for long periods of time.




Weasel words perhaps, but Kelly Starrett really divides physical therapist communities. Some love him, some hate him. Personally I think he's often "right for the wrong reasons". But if his approach gets you feeling better, that's what's important.

Ditto workouts for "core muscles".


Is there any readable book that's "right for the right reasons"? I'm interested in learning more.


Interesting, thanks for the info I’ll check it out.
