If you sit at a desk, your body is adapting to it. And not in a good way.
Your chest gets tight. Your upper back gets weak. Your head drifts forward. This pattern is called upper crossed syndrome, and it's behind most of the neck pain, shoulder tension, and headaches we see in our office.
The good news? It's fixable. Restoring motion to the mid back and strengthening what's gotten weak can reverse the damage.
Save this if your job keeps you at a desk. Your posture will thank you.
