Desk job got your shoulders rounded and tight? 💻
Hours at a computer = forward head posture + elevated, protracted shoulders. Over time that leads to upper back tension, neck stiffness, and fatigue.
Here’s your quick reset: Scapular Retractions (Shoulder Blade Squeezes)
✔️ Sit or stand tall
✔️ Gently pull your shoulder blades down and back (think “put them in your back pockets”)
✔️ Keep your neck relaxed — no shrugging
✔️ Perform 10 slow, controlled reps
The goal isn’t to crank your chest up — it’s to activate the mid-back muscles that support posture.
If that feels tough, try:
• Slow shoulder rolls (backward) to open the chest
• Simply checking in and relaxing your shoulders down — many people don’t realize they’re elevated due to stress
It takes less than a minute, but done consistently, it can make a noticeable difference in how you feel throughout your workday.
👉 Save this and try it between emails.
