Humans are designed to move; we are not designed to spend all day slumped in front of a computer.  However, in this era of technology more and more people are finding themselves stuck sitting at a desk for the duration of their working day.  This can very quickly lead to neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches or nerve pain down your arms.

If you are experiencing aches or pain from sitting at a desk all day, or if you routinely find that you have not moved for 2 hours, try the three exercises below.  These should be done every 30 minutes.  Set a timer on your computer, phone or watch to remind you.  Repeat each movement twice.  This will only take you 30 seconds!

30 seconds of movement every 30 minutes can reduce pain and stiffness, increase flexibility and improve concentration.
