For the past couple of years I've been extremely sedentary and I am definitely noticing how that's taking a toll on my body. I think I had imbalances and such before but now they are glaringly obvious; one shoulder higher than the other, one hip/glute is tighter than the other, same with calves, etc etc it goes on and on. I wanna try to address this stuff, so if anyone has any pointers or resources that they find helpful for mobility/strength/flexibility that would be dope.

If you're in the US, I recently learned that some states allow you to see a physical therapist directly, without a referral. In my state it's limited to a few sessions, but you can tell the therapist something like "I won't be coming back, give me the best at-home routine for my issues", and they should be able to help you out. I know this still is not accessible to everyone, but I wanted to make sure you were aware that it might be an option!

Oh yeah that's a good idea! I have seen PTs in the past but I kinda feel like they weren't seeing the "big picture" when it comes to how fucked my whole body is lol. I should give it another shot though. Good idea to ask them for a comprehensive home routine
