Sitting All Day? Quickest Exercise to Help Decrease Neck & Back Pain

​Today, our jobs are requiring more and more of our time, energy, and focus.  For those who spend time at a desk, our minds may be working on overdrive, but our bodies are certainly not.

​People who sit for long periods tend to:

• have more lower back problems
• cut life expectancy
• raise blood sugar
• increase the risk of heart disease

​​​So what quick exercises can you do to help? Today we introduce the:

​​Thoracic Whip

​

• Must be sitting
• Hands interlocked against sternum
• Using momentum, "whip" and rotate to one side 5-10 times and then repeat to the other side.  Each time, your body should spring you back to the middle.  Do NOT hold the movement in rotation...think fluid.

​Thank Dr. E of the manual therapist for this exercise.

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.

Have a great week!
