Don’t wait until you feel pain or discomfort to start stretching! Incorporating stretching into your daily routine can help prevent injuries and reduce the risk of chronic pain. To achieve this, try these in-office stretching exercises:

• Wrist Stretch: Extend one arm out in front of you, palm facing down. Use the other hand to gently pull the fingers towards you. Hold for 10-15 seconds and switch sides.
• Ankle Stretch: Sit on the edge of your chair and cross one foot over the opposite knee. Gently press down on the raised foot to stretch the ankle. Hold for 15-20 seconds and switch sides.
• Seated Butterfly Stretch: Sit tall in your chair, place the soles of your feet together, and gently press your knees towards the floor. Hold for 15-20 seconds.
