- Sitting too long or too wrong creates weakness in individuals, organizations, and society. One key element of transformation includes shifting a weakness to a strength. Shifting sitting from a weakness to a strength transforms us. Scott Donkin, DC, DACBOH is an internationally published author, chiropractor, lecturer, and consultant who has been in private practice in Lincoln, Nebraska for over thirty years. He speaks nationally and internationally on numerous ergonomic, health, wellness, longevity, and quality of life topics.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
The talk itself was fine, but the intro that lady gave was flawless.
I've been told by a physical therapist not to try to maintain the awake position too long. She told me the aware position was more ideal. I've also been told not to sit more than 20 minutes without getting up and taking a break from sitting.
I sit smarter from now on !!! Thanks Ted talks for bringing such an unbelievable useful information for us !!! Stay Blessed all
Excellent mentoring for those of us who have to sit much of the time, e.g., at work. I will keep the 'tipping point' in mind.
Love this talk, I'm gonna make this a habit! Thanks!!
Mindless, aware, awake.
Brilliant message thank you.
Breathe often!
Amazing....must watch
I really like this guy
Excellent!
Thanks ted for inviting such curious youngster. I pray for your brother(may be the inspiration you're on stage) and What a coincidence at home iam watching this talk show sitting on stool. Thats like a Half squat without any awareness. So friends get good wooden stool from a carpenter atleast for childrens.
summary:
great discussion, demo, effective at explaining the point, trying to implement while using laptop
why was that woman wearing a GIANT scarf at the back which was completely hiding what he was showing!
And figure out some kind of movement you can do to break up hours of sitting to prevent the body tightening up to stabilize instead of learning to use anatomy (not overly tight fascia) to stabilize.
So, our bodies health is dictated by the type of job we have! When I have been at home and without work, I have been the healthiest in my life, because my body tells me when I need a change from sitting or standing or anything else. Unfortunately at the office we just cant get up an move around! No wonder everyone is grumpy!!!!
Im lost please explain to me about the thumb matching thing to find the right size match chair in concordance to my hand size??? I really need to know urgently please.
All that tinkering will not replace taking movement breaks every 20 minutes
I would like to know if those seats that have no back and spread the weight of the body onto the knees is a good solution?
