Married to a nurse, Chris has seen firsthand, through his wife and her coworkers, the struggles that nurses have in taking care of themselves and the negative effects this can bring.  Through this Chris has developed a passion for helping nurses take better care of their physical health.

Recently I shared 101 FREE (or cheap) Self-Care Ideas. There were a lot of great options on there. Among them was to stretch. Whether this is getting up from your desk for a quick stretch, or practicing stretching exercises, this can be great.
 
When I was writing that list, I wanted to share some great stretching exercises for nurses. The truth is that this is not my area of expertise. Fortunately, I’ve connected with a great trainer on TikTok named Chris Foy.
 
Chris recently put up 3 different videos aimed specifically at helping nurses with mobility. Here are those videos.
