Stretches to Fix Muscle Tightness from Prolonged Sitting: A Thread.

Sitting all day tightens muscles all over your body, including your hip flexors, pecs, back, & neck. This tightness leads to upper crossed syndrome & musculoskeletal imbalances.

1. STRETCH THE NECK:
The front of the neck becomes tight as FUARKK from looking down at a computer or at paper when sitting, & the back of the neck is overstretched in compensation.

Loosen your neck by rotating it, & stretching it side to side & backwards.

2. STRETCH THE SHOULDERS & CHEST:
Sitting with bad posture pulls our shoulders forward & collapses our chest.

Open your shoulders & chest with these stretches below

3. STRETCH THE BACK / SPINE:
Poor sitting posture can compress your spine, especially when you lean forward from your lower back instead of bending at your hips.

Do these stretches to relieve your spine & back

4. STRETCH THE HIPS
Sitting, no matter your posture, makes your hips extremely tight. So to cure this, you need to loosen and release those muscles surrounding them, especially the psoas.

Try these stretches

Do each stretch for at least 30 seconds.
I did all of these while writing this thread & I feel fantastic.
