You spend hours in your chair—might as well make it part of the solution, not the problem.
Strategy Description:
Sit tall at the edge of a sturdy chair, place your right ankle on your left knee (like you’re crossing your leg), then gently hinge forward from your hips. This seated stretch opens your glutes and piriformis, two sneaky culprits behind back pain. Hold for 20–30 seconds. Switch sides. Your chair can be more than a backstabber—it can be a back supporter. Who knew?
Caution:
Avoid rounding your spine—lead with your chest. If you feel pressure in the knee, adjust the angle or skip it.
As always, check in with your physician before starting anything new—especially if your back has been throwing shade or sending warning flares.”
