Modern office life can be tough on the body. Prolonged sitting may lead to posture issues, neck pain and tight hips. The good news: you can do a few simple movements without leaving your desk.

Neck Roll

Gently tilt your head to the right, bringing your ear toward your shoulder. Take a deep breath, then roll your chin toward your chest and slowly to the other side. This helps release tension in the neck and upper trapezius muscles.

Seated Spinal Twist

Sit tall in your chair. Rotate your torso to the right and use your left hand to hold your right knee for support. Twist gently through the spine. This can ease back discomfort and support digestion.
