Desk stretches to reduce pain and discomfort

Why should you consider desk stretches? Making time for short breaks in your daily routine can reduce risk of injury. These “micro-breaks” should be taken before you start to feel pain, discomfort, or tiredness. That's why it's important to plan for them when you schedule your time.
Desk stretches don't take much time. Other productive micro-breaks could be a quick walk up and down the stairs, or a walking meeting. These activities give your eyes and muscles a chance to recover if you spend a lot of your time at a computer. They improve blood flow, relieve tension, and reduce the risk of eye strain.
