Dr. Strickland suggests setting a timer to move every 30 minutes, as well as completing quad and hamstring stretches a few times a day.

"For the quads, try reaching back and pulling your heel toward your buttock," Dr. Strickland says."For your hamstrings, prop your heel on an ottoman and lean over your leg — you should feel the stretch from your buttock down to the back of your knee." If you plan on being seated for a while, Dr. Strickland suggests propping up your foot for periods of time so that the knee isn't rested in one position all day.
