This wall stretch is the only thing that relieves tension in my shoulders after sitting at my desk all day

A woman stands in an empty room with a large window stretching against a wall. Her arms are straight, hands on the wall, and she is in a staggered stance so her right leg is behind her and her left leg slightly forward. Her torso leans forward as she bends into the stretch.

I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk and often don't realize that I’m hunching my shoulders while working at my laptop—until I feel painful knots in my upper back and neck caused by my posture.

The stiffness in my shoulders is so uncomfortable that I've tried various methods to get rid of it, from massages to physical therapist appointments and expensive electronic devices.
