Most people think that the office is pretty safe in terms of getting injured. The truth is quite the opposite. Statistics show that work-related injuries caused by incorrect posture while sitting, overuse of the wrists from typing, and little to no mobility throughout your day, are more prevalent than ever before.
Consequently, it is your job to stay proactive and PREVENT injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, or a sore/weak back. I’m happy to say that I can help you do this. Below you’ll find a video that I put together with 6 stretches that you can do throughout your day. I recommend doing these stretches before you start work, once more on a break, and then again after work (even if you get a workout in that night, I still recommend doing the stretches 2-3x).
If you are looking for a more comprehensive program for stretching and mobility, I highly recommend that you consider doing my GET STRETCHY program. Click here for more info.
