Desk stretches and regular movement breaks can relieve and prevent work-related back pain. Essential movements include seated forward bends, figure-four stretches and spinal twists. Proper posture and ergonomic furniture can also help. Focus on flexibility, spinal mobility and posture can maintain better spinal health and enhance work performance. Persistent or severe back pain requires medical attention and physiotherapy.
Regular seated desk exercises can improve posture, reduce workplace discomfort and prevent musculoskeletal issues. They include shoulder rolls, chin tucks, arm raises, shoulder blade squeezes, and knee-to-chest movements. Poor posture at work can lead to the head drifting forward from its ideal alignment, causing pain and strain. Simple exercises, performed consistently can address this along with the enhancement of musculoskeletal health.
Three effective desk stretches - seated spinal twist, shoulder rolls and shrugs, and seated figure-four stretch - help combat workday stiffness, relax muscles and promote circulation. Regular practice of these exercises can improve spinal mobility, alleviate discomfort and maintain proper posture.
