About us

Questions readers ask

how to choose the right reading guide

Look at your current daily schedule first. If you spend most of your day seated, our introductory movement overview explains desk stretches with simple diagrams. Readers who already walk daily can select our compendium on joint care.

what is the print edition made of

Each physical journal uses FSC-certified 120gsm paper printed with non-toxic vegetable inks. The spine is bound with unbleached cotton thread so pages lay completely flat on a desk. We avoid plastic laminates to ensure easy recycling.

how to apply daily movement advice at home

Start with five minutes of gentle leg swings while the morning kettle boils. Think of your body like a vintage clockwork mechanism that benefits from gentle winding rather than sudden forceful turns. Follow the illustrated posture charts included in our print issues.

how to pay for journal subscriptions

We keep transactions straightforward and honest. You can arrange a bank transfer directly to our Norwich account or pay cash upon physical parcel handover at your door. We do not take card payments.
