With many of us still doing the whole work-from-home sit-at-our-desk-all-day (or couch . . . or bed) thing, it's not surprising a lot of us have started to feel a bit tense in the neck and back. Slumping over a desk is a common cause of neck and back pain, which gets even more magnified if we're working from our laptops in bed. Add to that not having as much movement in our day-to-day lives as before, and deep stretches become more needed than EVER. These back stretches will soothe your upper, mid, and lower back as well as your neck, and will leave you feeling relaxed, long, and flexible. The best part? These stretches can all be done while standing, and don't even require a yoga mat. Read on to try them for yourself!
