Your body talks to you all the time. The problem is, most people don’t even realize that their body is sending messages. Even if we recognize some of the messages, most of us don’t know how to assess them. And even fewer of us have the extensive health vocabulary necessary to select the best response.
There may be many reasons for tight muscles after a long day at the office. But here is what I have frequently found to be a simple and effective solution to a common problem:
Message: Tight Muscles.
Assessment: After a long day at your desk, you may feel muscle tightness in your neck and shoulders or perhaps only on one side of the body. It’s likely caused by poor posture and repetitive actions during the workday.
Action: Improve your sitting position at work, stretch often, and do strengthening exercises for your core muscles.
