How to practice these 4 movements after sitting for a long time?

Sitting for a long time does more harm than good to people, because it may cause changes in body functions, cause people to have various uncomfortable symptoms, and even bring the risk of disease, adding a lot of troubles to people's lives. When sitting for a long time, people can take some effective actions to alleviate the pathological factors. Let’s see how to practice 4 more actions when sitting for a long time.

As an office worker, taking a minute or two to stand up after work and simply move your neck, shoulders, and turn your waist can greatly relieve your back pain. To relieve back pain, I recommend stretching as the main exercise, which can be done by yourself with your bare hands. The following movements are simple and easy to do, and will not appear abrupt even if performed in the company.

1. Blink. Blink your eyes several times, then look left, right, and then turn your eyes. Repeat this ten times and then stare into the distance for one minute. Doing so helps relax the eye muscles and activate blood circulation in the eyes.

2. Turn your head. First raise your head and lean back as far as possible, then slowly lower your head, bringing your chin as close to your chest as possible, so that the muscles in your neck and back can be tightened and relaxed. Then, slowly move your head in a circular motion and tilt it to the left and right 10 to 15 times. Then lean your back against the chair and clasp your hands behind your neck for a moment. This also has a good effect on the thyroid and parathyroid glands in the neck, and is conducive to mental recovery.

3. Tap your waist. Make hollow fists with both hands, put your hands behind your back, and use the back of your fists to rhythmically tap your sacrum and waist. The technique should be steady, with the force increasing from light to heavy, and there should be a sense of vibration. You can first tap from the sacrum upwards to the waist and back, then tap from the top to the bottom to the sacrum, and repeat this process.

4. Stand on tiptoe. Stand on your heels, with only your toes touching the ground, and shake your legs up and down continuously. As the muscles in the legs constantly contract and relax, the knee and ankle joints will move continuously, which can promote blood circulation in the lower limbs, supply more nutrients and oxygen to the lower limbs, and effectively avoid numbness and heaviness in the legs after sitting for a long time.

In addition to using fragmented time for stretching exercises, office workers must also maintain a good sitting posture when working. A good sitting posture can prevent problems before they occur.
