4. Reaching down. Straighten your arms beside your chair to bring blood flow to the spine.
5. Stretch your chest. Straighten your arms parallel to the chest and fingers pointing upwards to squeeze your shoulder blades. This stretch open the chest muscles that are feeling the stress during the work.
6. Set the work space. Ergonomics is the key to health while you are in office; adjustyour computer monitor to eye level, try not to lean while talking on the phone but use a headset instead, and so forth.
