EXERCISES YOU CAN DO IN YOUR WORK

THIS OFFICE EXERCISE IS A GREAT WAY TO KEEP YOUR BODY MOVING RIGHT AT YOUR DESK. SITTING ALL DAY CAUSES LOSS OF MUSCLE TONE DUE TO INACTIVITY AND INCREASED STRESS IN THE SPINE, FROM SLOUCHING IN ONE DIRECTION.

BACK EXTENSION ( TO MOBILISE LUMBAR SPINE)

STAND WITH FEET COMFORTABLY APART, KNEES STRAIGHT, AND HANDS AGAINST THE BACK OF THE PELVIS. ARCH BACKWARD AS FAR AS COMFORTABLY POSSIBLE WHILE PUSHING FORWARD WITH HANDS. REPEAT 5-6 TIMES. THIS SHOULD BE DONE FOLLOWING PROLONGED SITTING OR STOOPING, EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.

PUSH PELVIS FORWARD AS YOU LEAN BACK

KEEP HEAD FACING FORWARD

AVOID TWISTING

STAND WITH YOUR LEGS HIP WIDTH APART, FEET PARALLEL. DROP YOUR SHOULDERS AND PULL YOUR SHOULDER BLADES DOWN INTO YOUR BACK.

HOLD 2 SECONDS, RELAX FORWARD AND REPEAT 5-6 TIMES

REPEAT THIS TWICE IN THE MORNING, TWICE IN THE AFTERNOON
