Card 2 — Step 1
🎾 The Tennis Ball Posture Reset: Fight the forward desk slouch that triggers lower back pain. Place a standard tennis ball directly between your mid-back and the spine of your office chair; keeping the ball from falling forces perfect lumbar curvature.
Card 3 — Step 2
🦵 The Under-Desk Hamstring Stretch Interlude: Every time you return to your desk from a restroom or kitchen break, execute a 15-second standing hamstring stretch. Loosening your legs unblocks pelvic pressure caused by prolonged sitting.

🖱️ The Wrist Rest Rethink: Ditch soft gel wrist rests that press directly against your carpal tunnel path. Use an ergonomic mouse that keeps your hand at a natural 45-degree angle, allowing the base of your palm to bear the friction weight.
