Desk Exercises
If you struggle to get comfortable at work or suffer with aches and pains you feel might be related to your posture at work, doing some exercises at your desk can help.
• Sit up in your chair and fold your arms at shoulder height like a genie, keeping your torso stable. Slowly swing your arms from one side to the other in that position, keeping your ribcage and spine stable. This exercise may help to release tension in tight thoracic spinal muscles — the rhomboids and paraspinals that run along the spine between the shoulder blades.
• Plant your feet on the floor and elongate your spine with the crown of your head in line with your tailbone. On the exhale, slowly twist from the lower belly to look over your shoulder, allowing the upper body to follow. Hold the pose on each side for 30 seconds to one minute. This pose is good for releasing back tension that collects when you’re holding a seated position all day.
