| Back,
neck and wrist pain are the most common ailments among office workers.
Here are a few simple exercises you can do at your desk to prevent
or ease daily aches and pains. We'll show you four deskercises this
month and four more next month.
Neck:
Gently rotate your head forward until your chin reaches your chest.
Roll your head to the right and continue slowly in a circle. Repeat
several times. Relax, and then roll to the left in the same manner.
Repeat this opposite rotation several times. Try not to strain or
raise your shoulders.
Upper
Back: Make sure that your chair is stable. With feet flat
on the floor, clasp your hands behind your head and slowly arch
your back, bending your head backward. Hold up to 5 seconds.
Wrists:
With your hands held in front of you, gently rotate your wrists
so that the fingertips form circles in the air. Repeat several times.
Shoulders:
Let your arms relax at your side and then raise your shoulders,
rotating them up and back in a circular motion. Repeat several times.

Keep sitting
well!
