Desk job got your back and hips feeling tight and achy? You can undo the damage of sitting down every day in a few days, says writer Alice Porter. She signed up to a mobility app and decided to do a quick stretch every day and was shocked at the results. We’re not talking about pilates or a formal workout here, but simple stretching to loosen up the neck, shoulders and hips. The best bit? It can be done any time, anywhere.
