While research suggests that the is no “one size fits all”, it is widely agreed that you should be trying to optimise your posture. Here are a few stretches for you to try at home, which may help you to optimise your own seated posture!
1️⃣ Butterfly stretch - With your hands interlocked behind your head, pull your shoulders back and hold for 5-10 seconds to open your chest
2️⃣ Forward reach- With your hands interlocked in front of you, extend as far as you can and arch your upper back slightly and hold for 10-15 seconds. You should feel the stretch around your shoulders and between your shoulder blades
3️⃣ Overhead reach- With your hands interlocked, raise your arms above your head and extend up as far as you can go, hold for 15-20 seconds
4️⃣ Shoulder rolls (forwards and backwards)- Whilst seated roll your shoulders forwards and then backwards for 10 reps. Remember to keep it slow and controlled!
5️⃣ Seated glute stretch- Sitting straight in your chair, bring one leg over the other. Keeping your body straight, pull your crossed leg across at a diagonal towards the opposite leg. Hold for 15-20 seconds
