An expert shares three easy chair stretches to soothe back and shoulder stiffness

A woman stretching her back using the back of a chair.

According to the NHS, the average adult spends around nine hours a day sitting – that’s 63 hours a week – so it’s no surprise many of us finish work feeling stiff and sore. Getting up and moving regularly is the best remedy, but on days when that’s not possible, these three simple chair stretches can provide instant relief, easing tension and improving your posture.

“Chair-based movements are especially powerful because they’re safe, accessible, and can be done without special equipment, helping people stay consistent, which is the real key to long-term progress,” says Carter Lee, certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach at BetterMe.
