8 Best Office Exercises to Stay Active When Sitting All Day

3. Managing scoliosis while working at a desk.

Prolonged sitting with poor posture can exacerbate back pain associated with scoliosis and may even contribute to the progression of the spinal curve. To mitigate these effects, it’s important to maintain proper desk ergonomics and incorporate regular stretching into your routine. For instance, the Thoracic Extension at Desk stretch can be beneficial.

• Stretch Execution: Gently press upward with your hands and forearms while extending your upper back and allowing your pelvis to tilt forward. Keep your chin tucked to elongate your neck.
• Duration: Hold this position for 30 seconds, repeating three times per set. Perform this stretch every 30 minutes during prolonged sitting periods.

Incorporating such stretches and maintaining awareness of your posture can help alleviate discomfort and prevent further curvature progression.
