Frequently Asked Questions

How can I reduce neck pain during a long shift?

Focus on keeping your ears aligned over your shoulders rather than leaning forward. Perform chin tucks every hour to decompress the cervical spine.

What is the best way to manage foot fatigue?

Incorporate daily tibialis raises to strengthen the front of your shins and use a massage ball to release the arches of your feet after your shift.
