Sometimes, we feel pain but can’t quite remember how it started. There’s no clear injury, no wrong movement we can point to, it just seems to appear, gradually, until one day it’s simply there.

Often, when we look back, there’s been a period of stress, maybe a specific event or just a time when everything felt a bit heavier. Sometimes, you’ve even noticed the link yourself and thought, “Maybe it’s just stress.”

Even if you go to the gym for an hour every day, it’s not enough to undo the effects of sitting all day. But don’t worry — you don’t need to start a 15-minute stretching routine in the middle of your office either. What makes the biggest difference are small, frequent movements throughout your day — while working, in a meeting, on a call, or typing an email. Little and often, all day, every day.
