Spending hours behind a screen can take a toll on your posture and upper body. Shoulders slump, the neck stiffens, and tension builds up fast. The good news? A few targeted moves can undo the damage and make a big difference.
āØ Benefits of Upper Body Stretches:
š§āāļø Release shoulder and neck tensionĀ from hours of sitting
šØ Open the chestĀ and improve breathing
š Restore postureĀ by reversing that hunched-over position
šŖ Why Strength Training Helps Too:
š”ļø Builds stronger postural musclesĀ in the shoulders and upper back
š§āāļø Improves alignmentĀ so you sit and stand taller
š§ Boosts body awareness, reducing the chance of injury or strain
A quick combination of stretching and light strength work (like Pilates arm flows or resistance band rows) helps you reset your body and feel better in minutesāevery day.
