Three mobility exercises I'm doing to tackle lower-back pain and offset the damage of my desk job

Woman exercising at home. She is on her hands on an exercise mat, with one leg lifted behind her. She is looking at a laptop in front of her and is wearing a white top, grey leggings and white socks.

If, like me, you work a desk job and spend a lot of time sitting down, you may have noticed the toll it can take on your body.

I feel it mostly in my hips, which are far tighter than they used to be, and when I spend a day working on my laptop my lower back often starts feeling uncomfortable by 5pm.
