Twist Don’t Shout
Relieve back tension
Sit near the edge of your chair with your feet firmly planted on the floor. Stretch up from the base of your spine to the top of your head as if a string is pulling you up and relax your shoulders. Place one hand on the edge of your desk or the opposite knee and the other on the back of your chair. As you lengthen the spine twist toward the hand on your chair. Use your arms to leverage the rotation gently through your back. Hold and breathe deeply, focusing on releasing tension in your back. Repeat on the other side. Do this whenever you feel your back tighten or need a quick pick me up.
The other benefits of twisting the trunk are it tones the liver, spleen, intestines, etc. facilitating their work of releasing toxins and processing nutrients.
