Most people do, which is why I wrote this book. My name is Paolo Manneschi, and I am a physical therapist from Florence, Italy. (more about Paolo)
Through my various interactions with co-workers who are forced to sit at desks most hours of the day, I learned of a great need many people have; finding a way to keep their bodies fit with limited time and space while at the workplace.
Because of this, I was inspired to design a series of simple stretching exercises you can to do right at your desk. Exercises that can help improve blood circulation, release pain and stress on the back and neck, reduce symptoms of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, and more.
You will be guided through a series of exercises, starting with explanations of how your muscles and nervous system work. You will go onto breathing and meditation exercises, followed by stretches for your neck and back.
The book includes over 25 exercises presented in series, with detailed explanations and illustrations of each movement. The exercises are designed to be quick and easy and can be performed by just about anyone.
Reader Reviews
It Really Helped
“I was amazed how this book could help so much. I’ve been having problems with my back lately. Paolo addresses several specific problems of posture that I was doing. I learned a few changes for how I sit, and some easy exercises that I like. It really feels good. Try it. “

Highly recommended. Quick read with immediate results
“I work in software design and spend most of my time at a computer. My arms were beginning to hurt. Probably a little Carpel Tunnel starting. I tried the exercises and it has helped. I’d recommend this book to anyone who sits at a desk too much.”
