  1. Maintain proper posture: Regularly check and correct your posture, particularly when sitting at a desk or using electronic devices.
  2. Exercise regularly: Engage in regular physical activity to promote overall muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.
  3. Take breaks: If your job or hobbies involve repetitive motions, take breaks to stretch and change positions.
