Creative work in Los Angeles spans marathon edit sessions, on-set hauling, and hours with instruments. Your body doesn’t care about job titles; it cares about load, duration, and variety. This guide offers role-specific tweaks so your shoulders, back, and wrists make it to the final cut and the encore.
Editors & Designers
- Monitor top third at eye level; colorists using dual screens—match heights.
- Wrist neutral on tablets; short stylus breaks with fist opens/closes x 10.
- Micro-loop: every 25 minutes—stand, chin tucks x 6, thoracic extensions x 6.
Musicians
- Guitar/bass: alternate seated/strap heights; posterior shoulder work (band ER, rows).
- Keys: bench height so elbows ~90°; avoid elevated shoulders.
- Drummers: ankle and hip mobility + core control to offload the back.
Set & Stage Crews
- Team lifts when awkward; hinge, not round; use belts as reminders—not crutches.
- Rotation prep: standing chops and lifts (light) before long rigging days.
- Footwear: stable, not squishy; tired ankles punish knees and backs.
