How do you know when this beneficial thing in your life has turned into an unhealthy obsession, causing physical harm? It’s a slow and sneaky progression, so it’s important to know the signs.

What began as an honest hobby, slowly over time grew into a lifestyle, then devolved into an addiction. So, what are some signs that you or someone you know might be snowballing their way into stress fractures or snapped knee caps, and what can you do to help thwart physical and psychological damage? Grab an ergonomic chair and let’s discuss.”
