Know your body and consult with a healthcare professional
Depending on your day-to-day, your body may need additional care in different areas. For example, for those who sit at a desk for long hours or have previous upper-body trauma, it may be recommended to frequently stretch their neck, shoulders, and upper arms to increase mobility, improve flexibility, and uplift their overall well-being.
“Take, for instance, mobility in your hips and thoracic spine. If you keep these body parts immobile too much, you may develop injuries simply due to repetitive daily behaviors, namely from excessive sitting and device use”
