When a general guide is not enough
Self-guided movement resets are designed for everyday postural fatigue and desk stiffness. However, persistent or intensifying symptoms deserve a structured, individual clinical assessment.
- Pins and needles, numbness, or progressive weakness radiating down your arms or legs.
- Pain that wakes you from sound sleep and is unprovoked by movement.
- Unexplained dizziness, unsteadiness, or severe sudden headaches.
- Symptoms following recent high-impact trauma or an unaddressed fall.
