Seated Back Stretch

Seated Back Stretch

Seated Back Stretch by Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy

This is a great back stretch to use as a break when working at a desk for prolonged periods of time. Movement is always good for our bodies and backs, but stretch is especially helpful when you don’t have time to get up and take a walking break. 

How-To Steps:

  1. Seated, lace your fingers together, turn your hands inside out so your knuckles are facing you. Push your hands away from your body, rounding through your upper back and dropping your chin to your chest.
  2. Hold this posture for 10-30 seconds, gently release back to your starting posture.
