A DelhiPlanet Health And Wellness Exclusive, In Association With Queen Yogini Kristin McGee

Does your job demand you to stay on your seat for 7-8 hours a day ? Do you need to stay on the phone for many hours a day and do you sometimes need to talk on multiple phones at the same time ? Does your work involve huge amounts of time on the keyboard ?

If so, then it is most certain that you suffer from ailments like a Sore Back, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a Slouched Posture etc. All of these are some examples of health related problems that affect people who have desk or computer intensive jobs. While on the one hand computers have simplified things they have eliminated the need for forced “mini-breaks” that people used to take earlier for tasks like inserting paper in typewriters, whiting out errors or getting up to file papers.

Thanks to word wrapping, page breaks and hard drives, people don’t get these mini breaks any more. The human body is not designed for this kind of long and continuous “motion-free exertion” and this often results in Repetitive Stress Injuries, i.e injuries which are caused when too much stress is placed on a joint due to a constantly repetitive motion.

One of the easiest ways to de-stress and avoid such work related injuries and problems is to take breaks at regular intervals and just stretch out and loosen those muscles. Yoga is actually a great way, to stay away from all such ailments and it just takes a few minutes after a couple of hours of work to get the body rearing to go again. In today’s article Kristin shows a couple of really easy moves to de-stress the body while at work. Check them out in the video below (Courtesy: Sprig.com).
