Stretch Away Tension At Your Desk

Daily stretches can ease fatigue, tension and body pain. 

Try the following daily exercises:

Reach up to the sky - when used with correct breathing this movement can improve circulation, body and mind.

Press the feet into the floor, inhale deeply through the nose and lift your arms above your head and reach upwards. Exhale and lower your arms back to starting position. Repeat.

Arm stretch - great for stretching your back and reducing slouching.

Bring your arms behind your back or chair and interlock fingers. Try to straighten your elbows and hold for one minute. Make sure you breath gently through your nose. To enhance the stretch, take your neck slightly forward. Repeat through out the day if you feel tension in your back.
