Office Stretching Exercises

Office stretching refers to a set of stretching exercises that can be performed in an office or workplace setting. Improve flexibility, prevent injury, and reduce the negative effects of prolonged sitting and standing.

Typically, the human body is designed to function in an upright position, therefore, prolonged periods of sitting down can contribute to the development of various health issues.
