Avoid repetitive downward-facing motions. As a general rule, try to get up from whatever you are doing and take a break at least every 30 minutes. Staring at your computer or phone all day can cause your neck and back muscles to tense up and push your shoulders forward. If you need to, set an alarm on your phone to remind you to stand up and stretch a bit.
- Once you stand up, stretch your arms towards the sky and look up as well. Jog a bit in place while looking forward. Take a quick trip up and down some stairs.
