Summary:

"For all makers and artists, this helpful guide teaches you that your body is your most valuable tool, and empowers you to create more-healthful movement patterns that build strength and longevity. As the founder of Wellness for Makers®, Ballone knows the challenges that makers face in finding time to focus on their body rather than their creations. The repetitive tasks that artists and crafters take on every day can lead to strain injuries and pain. By following the 40+ exercises outlined in this book with detailed photos, you will learn the best ways to sit, stand, walk, and lift to reduce your risk of injury, relieve pain and strain, and improve your posture and overall well-being. Use this as a resource to learn the actions, movements, and best practices that will allow you to move in a way that strengthens and repairs your body." -- Description provided by publisher.
