When most people think about posture, they think about neck pain, back pain, stiff shoulders, or headaches. What they do not often think about is focus. Yet by the middle of the day most executive mums feel distracted, mentally tired and less productive.

You have probably noticed this before. Some days, your elbow feels manageable. It is there, but it is not stopping you from getting things done. You can type, carry things, make dinner, and get through your day without thinking about it too much. And then there are those other days. The days packed with meetings, deadlines, school runs, and last-minute requests. The days where you feel like you have been switched on from the moment you wake up.

But sometimes, there is another factor quietly contributing to that feeling of physical fatigue: Your standing posture. This is specially true for those who stand for hours for their work, maybe with a standing desk.
In this blog, let's explore how the way you stand can influence your energy levels and what your body may need instead ....

When you have a Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow, it is natural to focus all your attention on the painful area. After all, that is where the discomfort is.
