Long hours at a desk can tighten your neck, shoulders and back. Short stretching breaks help you feel more comfortable and focused.
Quick stretches to try
- Overhead reach to lengthen your spine.
- Shoulder rolls to release tension.
- Seated twist to loosen your back.
- Neck tilt to ease stiffness gently.
Set a reminder to stand up and stretch regularly throughout the day.
Improve your setup
Keep your screen at eye level, sit back in your chair and keep your feet flat on the floor.
When to get help
