Desk job aches? Here’s why your muscles are feeling it!
Sitting for long hours can take a real toll on your body. When you’re at your desk all day, your neck, shoulders, and lower back muscles are working overtime to support your posture. Over time, they can become tight, shortened, and sore, leading to stiffness, headaches, and even referred pain down the arms or legs.
But the good news? You can ease the strain with a few simple changes
**5 Tips to Reduce Desk-Related Muscle Tension:**
1. **Take micro breaks** — stand, stretch, or walk for 2–3 minutes every 30 minutes.
2. **Check your posture** — keep your screen at eye level and shoulders relaxed.
3. **Stretch your chest and neck** — counteract that forward hunch!
4. **Stay hydrated** — muscles work better when you’re well hydrated.
5. **Book regular massage therapy** — to release built-up tension and restore balance.
Small changes add up — your body (and mind) will thank you!
Book your massage today and feel the difference in your posture, productivity, and wellbeing.
