The Problem with Sitting

# Desk Stretches for a Healthier Workday

Sitting for 8 hours? These stretches will save your back, neck, and shoulders.

Extended sitting causes:

  • Lower back pain
  • Tight hip flexors
  • Rounded shoulders
  • Neck strain

Solution: Stretch every hour!

1. Neck Release

Gently tilt your head to each side, holding for 15 seconds.

Feel the stretch along the side of your neck. Do both sides twice.

Perfect for releasing tension from looking at screens.

2. Shoulder Rolls

Roll shoulders backward 10 times, then forward 10 times.

This simple move improves circulation and releases upper back tension.

Do it while on a call!

3. Seated Spinal Twist

Sit tall, place right hand on left knee, twist left.

Hold for 20 seconds, then switch sides.

Great for spine mobility and digestion.

4. Hip Flexor Stretch

Stand next to your desk, step one foot back, gentle lunge.

Hold 30 seconds each side.

Counteracts the hip tightness from sitting.

5. Wrist and Finger Stretches

Extend arms, flex wrists up and down 10 times.

Spread fingers wide, then make fists.
