Desk Job Aches? Try These 5 Quick Stretches for Instant Relief

Spending hours at a desk can lead to tight muscles and stiff joints. But a few quick stretches can bring instant relief! Here are five stretches you can do right at your desk:

1. Shoulder Shrugs – Lift your shoulders to your ears and release, relaxing tension in your shoulders.

2. Neck Tilt – Tilt your head to each side, holding for a few seconds to relieve neck strain.

3. Chest Stretch – Clasp your hands behind your back and lift slightly, opening up your chest and countering the forward hunch.

4. Seated Twist – Twist gently to each side, keeping your spine tall, to relieve back tension.

5. Wrist Stretch – Extend your arm and gently pull back on your fingers for a stretch along your forearm.

These stretches take only a few minutes but can make a huge difference. For more lasting relief from desk job aches, book a physio session today!
