I’m not sure what percentage of our population has an office job have Desk Posture but the number must be overwhelming.
The most common postural changes that stand out to me are in the neck, upper back, lower back and the hips.
And now let’s see them one by one:
1. Forward head position and a loss of curvature in the neck will lead to degeneration in the disks and this is true for a rounded upper back and hunched shoulders due Desk Posture.
2. The rounding of the upper back (kyphosis) also causes limited range of motion in the neck, shoulders and thoracic spine, leaving you with a constant feeling of tightness.
3. Hips that don’t get to move but they are forced to be in a flexed (seated) position for long hours every day will lose their mobility and become achy and stiff, often causing lower back pain or localized pain in the hips.
If you can identify with any of these symptoms and you’re not sure what to do and how to do it, you must start practicing these exercises in the video below.
I can promise you, you’re going to feel limber, tall, much looser and you’ll have much less aches and pains in your muscles and joints.
Also, these stretches will help you eliminate the dreaded forward head and rounded back posture!
