Office Exercises – Head and Neck Mobility

Welcome to Plym Physio’s Office Exercises blog. We will be releasing a new exercise each week, and try to do them at intervals through the day, little and often is best! Below you will find a video where Physiotherapist Nicola demonstrates how to perform the exercise properly for maximum benefit.

Why is desk exercising important?
Many of us spend a majority of our day working at a desk, which brings it’s own issues in terms of physical health; stiffness, muscle aches, even stress and fatigue. By keeping moving you are moving and using those muscles, keeping your joints supple and getting a bit of blood flowing!

Plym Physio has put together a series of exercises you can do whilst at your desk, to keep your body moving, as well as some challenges that you and your colleagues can have fun with! Exercise doesn’t have to be boring, and it doesn’t have to be energetic to be beneficial!

For our first exercise we are looking at head and neck mobility. Particularly useful if you spend many hours staring at your computer screen with your head held relatively static. Let’s get it moving, and as you need to keep your head forwards in this one, you can continue to check your emails while you do it!
