You don’t need to go far to achieve a fantastic mobility workout that will foster better spinal health and function. As a kinesiologist and trainer, I’ve worked with dozens of office workers and have recommended the routine below to virtually every one of them. Why? It’s quick, accessible, and can be done anywhere. In less than 5 minutes, you too can begin mobilizing your spine and waving goodbye to the dreaded aches and pains that so many of us struggle with.
