A BIT OF FUNCTION

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day.

This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting?

WELCOME to 2019 Hi everyone in this New Year my goal is to connect with you and to provide valuable content to help you live your Best Life. A bit about me is: I am a wife and mother to two wonderful humans. My oldest is attending his first year in college and my youngest is a junior in high school and looking at colleges. For the last 20 plus years my husband and I have been running www.Functionetiks.com which is a posture correction and pain relief business utilizing the Egoscue method that I helped develop with my Father Pete Egoscue.

In my work I am constantly researching health and wellness of all types. I would like to put everything I learn and think will be of value in one spot which is going to be this blog. Today's topic is going to be  HYDRATION Hydration is the most important thin...
