I sit at an office desk for eight hours a day, sometimes more.
Try this...laying on your back on the floor with legs bent at the knee, feet flat on the floor, lift your butt off the floor, and hold up so that you are in a triangle shape, so to speak, hold for a slow count of 4 and work up to a ten count. Do THIS SLOWLY, don't strain, start slowly with 5 or ten lifts, taking a break of a few breaths in between each lift. This will strengthen your lower back muscles, add to this a simple stretch with both hands on the back of your head, palms forward, push your head back against the palms of your hands, forcing your elbows out to the sides, while pushing on your head, hold for a count of ten, and repeat, this strengthens your upper back and improves your posture, ease's stress in the neck and shoulders, this should make a big improvement in how you feel.
