  "account": "Physical therapist advises three exercises to improve posture and alleviate back pain for desk workers. These moves target shoulder, spine, and hip muscles, reducing tension and improving muscle activation. Begin with gentle stretches and avoid forcing any movement. If tightness persists, consult a medical professional. Practice QL stretch, prayer stretch, and RDL exercises two to three times a week alongside other physical activities like walking, running, lifting weights, swimming, or gardening. Consistency is key, so aim for small amounts of movement regularly and increase gradually over time.",
