Due to mobility difficulties, many people complain of neck pain, shoulder stiffness, and waist stiffness.

Hyderabad: Desk work sounds easy and convenient, but it may actually cause neck, back and shoulder pain. In fact, incorrect posture and prolonged use of the mouse/keyboard can also cause carpal tunnel. 

Sitting in one place for eight or nine hours without moving and bending these muscles may cause complications. It is important to leave your seat at least twice an hour-walk to the water dispenser or a colleague's desk. Another way to solve this occupational hazard is to perform a descaling procedure once a day. 

Fitness coaches in the city helped us solve the second option and emphasized the importance of doing some simple exercises at the desk. Celebrity coach and 360-degree fitness director Kuldep Sethi puts this in context. "Since the outbreak of the pandemic, everyone has worked from home. People have been sitting in one place for several hours without moving. This hinders blood circulation and blood stasis occurs at the lower end of the body," he said. 

Due to mobility difficulties, many people complain of neck pain, shoulder stiffness, and waist stiffness. "Humans are born for manual labor, but today we spend most of our time at our desks. In some countries, people stand up and do the same desk work. This is good because the body has some movement," he said It is recommended that people exercise every 30-35 minutes. Move your shoulders and neck frequently. He listed some exercises that people can do at their desks—neck rotation, shoulder movement, and arm extension. Stretching your body to the left and right can also work miracles. 

Another celebrity fitness trainer, Dinaz Vervatwala, said that when you are not moving, fat accumulates in your body. "The body cannot burn fat, and these fats will eventually accumulate in the abdomen, chest and sides. This will change the body composition and structure. Here, the goal should be to change the shape of the body. Sitting on a chair cannot stay healthy.

You have to get up every hour, walk around, and then go back to your seat," she said. Practice neck stretches, knee stretches, and squats. You can get up from the chair and sit down again. There is a desk to work And those who work eight hours must exercise one hour before starting work every day. “Set a reminder every hour, take a walk, and eat moderately,” she suggested.
