Back Pain at Work? Try These Stretches and Exercises

Do you sit in an office working at a desk all day? It's easy to get stiff and sore when we don't get up and move around often enough.

Two minutes of simple stretches and exercises right at your desk can work wonders at restoring flexibility and relieving back pain, shoulder pain, and other achy muscles caused by sitting around too much.

In the first office stretching video I give you a quick and powerful routine for stretching and strengthening your lower back, triceps, and mid-section at your desk.

I continue the office workout in the second video by first demonstrating how to loosen up hip flexors which become overly tight from sitting. This important stretch from our Lose the Back Pain System helps most office workers get lower back pain relief.

Your office workout is wrapped up with a set of quick stretches for your hamstrings and neck. And again, you can do all of these stretches and exercises right at your desk.

Please share these videos with your co-workers and be sure to tell us how the stretches and exercises work out for you in the comments below.
