Sitting for long periods can make you feel stiff.
The solution does not need to be an elaborate stretching routine.
Try Regular Movement Breaks
- Stand up
- Walk briefly
- Move your shoulders
- Change positions
- Perform gentle neck movements
- Move your hips
- Stretch your chest
Important
Stretching should feel controlled and comfortable.
Do not force a painful range of motion.
For persistent pain, numbness, weakness or other concerning symptoms, seek appropriate medical evaluation.
A simple rule:
Move more often rather than relying on one five-minute stretch session to undo an entire day of sitting.
