Source: GDC SF 2018 | How to Rig a Human: Joint Health and Mobility for Developers
Hey friends, do you know Seth? Well he is a tech artist turned developer and fitness madman but if you are suffering from Slouching worker stiff neck Gollum syndrome, get in touch with him and get a movement screen and start learning to work healthy. Also be sure to check out his talk “How to Rig a Human”
It probably goes without saying that, in this industry, developers spend quite a bit of time seated. What you may not be so aware of, however, are the long-term effects on your joints, muscles, and connective tissue that come from all that sitting. Sadly, they’re not good, but fear not! With some simple movements, performed on a regular basis, you can undo some of these negative effects. In this hands-on, interactive session, attendees will have the option to explore how to do just that by learning how to create a daily restorative practice based on research-backed mobility techniques and methodologies designed to restore normal joint function, range of motion, and healthy muscle and connective tissue quality. The best way to learn is to do, so wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to move, if willing and able!
Takeaway
Attendees will learn a series of movements that can promote healthy joint and tissue quality, strategies for creating short, daily routines that can be performed at home or at work with minimal time investment, and lastly, they will receive a list of “continuing education” resources to further their own development.
