A sedentary job contributes to the epidemic of back pain. The lower back and neck area are often overstrained, while the abdominal and chest muscles tend to be weakened (a condition known as upper crossed syndrome). However, unpleasant sensations and pain can be fairly easily prevented with just a few effective yoga exercises. Try incorporating these exercises into your daily routine—ideally in the morning before work and in the afternoon after coming home. You’ll likely notice a significant improvement within just a few days, and the back pain will begin to subside.
