I sit at a desk all day at work and when I get home my back often feels tight, is there a good stretch that I can do to relieve the discomfort?

Stretching out your Latissimus Dorsi and Back Extensor muscles should provide some good relief for you and help to limber up some of those tight muscles. To stretch these areas try the ‘Prayer Stretch’. Start by kneeling on a mat and stretch your arms forward in front of your head with your palms down. The key to this stretch is to keep your gluteal muscles in contact with your heels and your arms stretched out as far as possible. You should feel this stretch through the middle and outer part of your back and down into your lower back. Hold the stretch for 60 seconds and perform daily. Stretching is also a good stress reliever, so be sure to relax and breathe deeply.
