If you spend many hours sitting at your computer, it’s important to remember your muscles.

Break up the monotony of staring at your screen by taking breaks, giving your eyes a break, and stretching your body.

Some mini stretches that you can try at your desk:

Neck stretches - moving your head forward, backward, side to side and rotating side to side. Neck circles are not advised as they put your cervical neck bones into a “pedestal and mortar” situation - wearing the bones.
Shoulder shrugs – rolling your shoulders forwards and backwards and up and down to stretch your shoulders.

Seated knee to chest – while sitting, bring one knee up towards your chest to stretch your lower back and hips.
