Brief Summary   Physiotherapists spend long hours standing, which can negatively impact their musculoskeletal health. Quadrupedal Movement Training (QMT), a set of bodyweight exercises performed in a hands-and-knees or hands-and-feet position, offers potential benefits. QMT’s closed-chain nature promotes core stabilization, greater motor unit firing, and simultaneous engagement of multiple joints and muscle groups. The contact of hands and feet with the ground enhances proprioception, while gravity increases the load on soft tissues. Furthermore, QMT’s multi-planar approach utilizes the whole body for movement and stabilization, unlike isolated muscle exercises. Therefore, QMT may be a beneficial exercise modality for physiotherapists to counteract the negative effects of prolonged standing.
