The Sandwich Generation's Body: When Caregiving Takes a Physical Toll
Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park examine the physical toll of being in the sandwich generation—the 23% of adults simultaneously raising children and caring for aging parents—exploring research on musculoskeletal pain, sleep disruption, and cardiovascular risk that most caregivers don't know they're facing. You'll learn evidence-based strategies like proper body mechanics training, sleep architecture protection, and the minimum effective dose of movement or breathing that actually fit into a caregiver's reality, along with concrete first steps like contacting the American Physical Therapy Association for caregiver-specific training.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
