Workplace and Postural Issues Physiotherapy 

Text neck, also known as tech neck, is a modern condition caused by prolonged forward head posture—typically from looking down at phones, tablets, or computers. It leads to strain on the neck muscles, stiffness, headaches, and even upper back and shoulder pain. 

• We provide physiotherapy for neck pain caused by tech neck to help relieve discomfort and correct posture through: 

• Treatment includes posture correction, ergonomic advice, and neck mobility exercises

• Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is a common postural imbalance caused by prolonged poor posture—often from sitting at a desk or using digital devices for long hours. It leads to a forward head, rounded shoulders, and a hunched upper back. 

• This imbalance causes certain muscles (like the chest and neck) to become tight, while others (like the upper back and deep neck flexors) become weak.

• We provide physiotherapy for Upper Cross Syndrome to correct posture, reduce pain, and restore balance through: stretching and strengthening programs

• Results from prolonged sitting, poor lumbar support, or incorrect lifting
  
  

• Includes disc-related issues, muscle spasms, or sciatica
  
  

• Treated with core strengthening, postural retraining, and mobility exercises

• From repetitive overhead work or improper desk posture
  
  

• Leads to stiffness, inflammation, and limited arm movement
  
  

• Focused shoulder rehab improves range, reduces pain, and restores function

• Compression of the median nerve due to repetitive wrist movements

• Common in typists, writers, and office workers

• Treated with wrist support, nerve gliding exercises, and ergonomic corrections

• Overuse injuries from typing, lifting, or repetitive gripping

• Pain and tenderness in the forearm and elbow joint

• Managed through manual therapy, load management, and strength training

• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) are caused by repetitive motions or overuse of specific muscle groups, often from activities like typing, mouse use, texting, or manual work. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, or neck. 

• We provide physiotherapy for RSI to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent future strain through pain management,  Activity Modification and Ergonomic Advice and  Therapy includes rest, retraining, and posture optimization 

• Caused by slouched sitting or screen-heavy jobs

• Contributes to back pain, stiffness, and poor breathing

• Physiotherapy focuses on alignment, posture awareness, and thoracic mobility

• Triggered by neck strain, poor eye ergonomics, and jaw clenching

• Dull ache around forehead, temples, or base of the skull

• Treated with neck release work, posture correction, and relaxation techniques

• Sitting for long periods causes tight hip flexors and weak glutes

• Leads to misalignment, walking discomfort, and joint stress

• Rehab includes glute activation, mobility drills, and ergonomic movement habits

• Radiating pain from the lower back down the leg

• Often aggravated by prolonged sitting or poor posture

• Treatment includes nerve mobility work, back care, and ergonomic advice

• One-sided activities (e.g., mouse usage, standing unevenly) can cause imbalances

• Leads to joint stress, pain, and reduced performance

• Therapy rebalances posture and builds symmetrical strength

• Jaw tension caused by clenching or stress during work

• Leads to jaw pain, clicking, and headaches

• Managed through jaw release techniques and postural correction

• Common in people with repetitive lifting, bending, or long hours on feet

• Includes tendinitis, joint overload, and fatigue

• Treated with body mechanics training and job-specific movement strategies

This type of physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal problems caused by poor posture, repetitive work tasks, prolonged sitting, and improper ergonomics in the workplace.

Physiotherapists assess your posture, identify imbalances or weaknesses, and create a personalized exercise program. They also teach postural correction strategies and ergonomic advice to improve daily habits and prevent future problems.

Poor workstation ergonomics, prolonged sitting, lack of movement, repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, and incorrect body mechanics are major contributors to workplace posture issues.

Many patients start noticing improvements within a few sessions, especially when combining therapy with changes to daily habits and ergonomic adjustments at work.

Yes. Physiotherapists address the muscle tightness and postural issues that often cause tension headaches, providing relief through manual therapy, stretching, and postural correction exercises.

Absolutely. Physiotherapy not only treats existing pain but also teaches prevention strategies, such as ergonomic improvements, strengthening weak areas, and incorporating movement breaks into your workday.

Yes! Home and workplace exercises are a key part of recovery. Short, frequent movement routines help maintain good posture and reduce the build-up of strain during long work hours.

Definitely. With many people working remotely, poor home office setups are leading to increased posture-related issues. Physiotherapy can guide you on optimizing your home workspace and maintaining healthy movement habits.
