3 mobility moves to help reverse desk job damage

3 mobility moves to help reverse desk job damage

If you’re feeling stiff and locked up from sitting all day, try incorporating these 3 simple moves throughout your day to help undo the damage of your desk job.

You don’t need a gym membership or fancy equipment, just you and 10 minutes of intentional movement.

Swipe through for your desk-worker mobility fix 👉

1️⃣ Glute Bridges

• Wakes up those sleeping glutes

• Counteracts hours of sitting

• Bonus: Helps relieve lower back tension

2️⃣ Hip Flexor Stretch

• Releases tight hip flexors from sitting

• Opens up the front of your hips

• Creates better posture alignment

3️⃣ Lumbar Segmentations

• Restores spine mobility

• Relieves back stiffness

• Improves overall posture

Do these moves daily, especially after long periods of sitting.

Quality over quantity - focus on feeling each movement. Aim to do each movement for 30-60 seconds.
