Sitting for prolonged periods can be detrimental to your posture and overall musculoskeletal health,” says Cody Mooney, director of performance at recovery app pliability. “The sedentary lifestyle that many people lead, whether at a desk job or while watching TV, often leads to poor posture habits, making our muscles weaker and tighter in the neck, shoulder and lower back regions. You can counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting by consistently practising mobility and stretching exercises, alleviating strain and soreness.”
Remaining seated for a long period of time can result in rounded shoulders, a forward head posture, and a slouched back, all of which contribute to discomfort and pain. Long-held stretches help to ease these symptoms, assisting in maintaining proper posture and preventing postural problems in the future.
This mobility flow is created with desk workers in mind, with the overall goal of regaining good posture and positioning, easing any musculoskeletal issues that build up over time, enhancing joint function and eliminating tightness.
