Muscular tension and pain caused by repetitive work activities is common. Try these simple exercises right at your workstation to relax your muscles and energize your spirit. Do these stretches often throughout the day to prevent injury, not just when you are tired and stiff.
- Head tilt – Place your right hand on your left shoulder and slowly bring your ear towards your right shoulder without turning your head. Hold this for five seconds and then switch sides.
- Neck rolls – Slowly roll your head to the right, down to the centre and over to the left. Repeat in the opposite direction.
- Shoulder circles – Sit up straight and slowly roll your shoulders forward ten times and back ten times.
- Side stretch – Reach your arms out to the side and then clasp your hands above your head. Lean your upper body to the right side. Hold for five seconds and then switch sides.
- Back curl – Hold your right shin and lift your leg off the floor. Bend forward and curl your back reaching your nose to your knee. Repeat on the other side. This exercise will also stretch your legs.
