I found these great stretches by Derek Heintz on the sdgln.com website. Derek is one of the leading fitness experts in San Diego. Having received his formal training in Exercise Science at the University of California.
He developed these stretches in order to counteract the effects of sitting at computers for long periods and developing what he calls “computer posture”.
I know from personal experience, using the computer for quite long periods does aggravate my back pain, so anything to help relieve that has to be good.
The stretches, which are all illustrated and very simple and easy to do, will help neck, back, shoulder, elbow, knee and hip pain as well as headaches.
There are eight stretches in all and you only need to do them once a day (more if you wish) and hold each one for 30 seconds. So less than five minutes a day. I’m definitely going to try these. If you want to have a go yourself use this link.
