It’s not that heavy workers or manufacturers are the only sufferer with muscular pain. They can occur in all types of industries and work environments, including office spaces. It has been observed that repetitive motion, poor posture, and staying in the same position can cause or worsen musculoskeletal disorders. Staying in one position while doing repetitive motions is typical of a desk job.

 • the good news is that moving or stretching is a buildable habit. For starters, you can set a timer to remind you to take a quick walk or stretch. If you’re pressed for time, there are even certain stretches you can do at your desk. 
• remember to breathe normally throughout the stretches, and never hold your breath. With each stretch, you may find yourself more flexible. Don’t go further than is comfortable. 

• inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders, lifting them high up to your ears. Hold. Release and drop. 
• shake your head slowly, yes and no. 
• just stand up and sit down without holding anything. 
• clench both fists, stretching both hands out in front of you. 
• inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right and grab the back of your chair with your right hand, and grab the arm of the chair with your left. 
• hug your body, placing the right hand on your left shoulder and the left hand on your right shoulder. 
• breathe in and out, releasing the area between your shoulder blades. 
• sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch your arms overhead and interlock.
