Self-help – at work or at home – The 5 Minute Mini-Breaks

Most of us sit at our desks or in front of our computers for far too long, or drive for long stretches at a time, without a break, without getting up, for hours on end. Our neck and shoulders tense up and soon the muscles begin to ache, you become so engrossed forgetting to drink something hydrating, and as time goes on you get eye strain, and a headache begins to develop or a pain in the neck and shoulders. Whether you whether you have arthritis or not you should follow this advice each day

a) Get up and stretch

b) Take a short walk around

c) Go and get some water, or make a herbal tea (without milk or sugar).
