Deskbound? Your next move is your best move!

In today's fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves spending the majority of our days at a desk. Whether it's for work, meals, or relaxation, this sedentary lifestyle can wreak havoc on our bodies, leading to tight necks, lower back pain, and hip discomfort.

At Recentre, we understand the toll desk work can take on your body, and we're here to help you break free from the clutches of poor posture.

The Desk Worker's Dilemma:

Sitting for prolonged hours is more than just a workday routine; it's a lifestyle choice that impacts our overall health. We tend to slouch into positions of comfort, which can lead to various muscle groups being affected.

Muscles Shortened and Tightened:

• Chest

• Hip Flexors

• Quadriceps

• Traps

Muscles Lengthened and Weakened:

• Upper and Mid-Back

• Glutes

• Hamstrings

Finding Your Path to Better Posture:

Improving your desk posture doesn't require drastic changes; it's all about incorporating small, effective habits into your daily routine.

• Move Frequently - Getting up to walk around is the simplest and most effective way to combat the negative effects of desk work
  

• Set alarms or reminders to change your position every hour during the workday.
  

• Desk-Friendly Exercises: Even with a busy schedule, you can make a significant difference by incorporating stretches, release techniques, and activation exercises into your desk work routine.

These exercises can easily be performed DAILY during meetings, phone calls, or while typing emails.

Don’t wait till the end of the day, where most likely you will only do less than 10 mins of stretching and release work a few times a week.

To help you get started on your journey to better posture, we've prepared a video guide showcasing a range of exercises you can do to break up your day
