People are meant to move in a variety of ways. Walking or standing all day – like you would at work – is super repetitive. This causes 3 problems: (1) muscles tightness; (2) some muscles (those in constant use) being overworked; and (3) other muscles being *under*worked (like certain core muscles that, you guessed it, help support the spine and pelvis)
