As mental health workers, we are so used to giving to others that our own needs can be neglected, especially our physical health. In this episode, exercise physiologist Jamie tells us about how to keep physically healthy, including 👉 myths around 'correct' posture 👉🏿 the role of incidental exercise 👉🏽 integrating movement into a busy workday 👉🏼 and BONUS! Jamie chats about the positives and challenges of running a psychology practice from a non-psychologist's perspective. Thanks so much for this informative chat, Jamie, I learned a lot and my back is happier for it!
