Body Twist

If you sit facing one direction and twist your body in another direction to view either your desk or computer, you put excess strain on the muscles and bones in your back and hips. You can prevent this by facing your work as you work.

See the section on Desk for more information and the Lower-back Stretch for related exercises.
