“Deskercise” for Desk Workers

Typically, when we think of work-related injuries, we think of blue-collar workers that depend on their physicality to complete their work. This is a common misconception, as office spaces have a high frequency of work-related disorders. Desk jobs typically involve repetitive motions, poor posture, and long periods of sitting, which can be the perfect recipe for musculoskeletal disorders. Although standing desks have become a popular alternative, there are great “deskercises” that you can do throughout your workday that can make a difference. Check them out in our latest video!
