"Do you spend most of your time sitting at your desk, glued to a computer screen? (Hello, corporate and work from home life!) A survey was conducted to study work-related musculoskeletal disorders among office workers, and the results were astonishing. Around 71.9 % of these workers reported experiencing pain, joint stiffness, and swelling. The body regions most affected were the hand/wrist, lower back, and shoulders."
"Office life is demanding, and with all the other responsibilities of life, it's hard to take time to look after your well-being. A sedentary lifestyle can take a toll on your physical and mental health. But the solution could be as simple as adding some easy yoga poses into your daily routine. Yoga includes physical poses along with breathing techniques and meditation. It provides office workers with a mind-body approach to offset the troubles caused by long hours of sitting."
"It also improves posture and reduces stress by allowing for mindful breathing during the movements. Start by sitting on the floor (legs crossed) or a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your hands on your thighs. Inhale, arching your back and looking up. This is the cow position. Then exhale, rounding your spine and letting your head drop. This is the cat pose. Repeat for 3-5 breaths."
A large share of office workers experience work-related musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, and swelling, with the hand/wrist, lower back, and shoulders most affected. Prolonged sitting and a sedentary lifestyle harm physical and mental health and contribute to tension and fatigue. Yoga combines physical poses, breathing techniques, and meditation to provide a mind-body approach that can relieve pain, release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce mental fatigue. Eleven simple yoga poses are recommended for brief workplace practice to counteract sitting-related problems. Individuals with existing conditions should consult a doctor and start slowly, avoiding pain.
