Prolonged sitting with poor posture can place stress and strain on muscles, joints, ligaments and nerves in the neck, upper back and shoulders. If allowed to continue this may cause eventual breakdown of the tissue causing pain, swelling, muscle spasm and weakness.

The aims of physiotherapy in this area are to reduce pain, improve posture, educate and rehabilitate. Occasionally workstation assessments may need to be carried out by our Consultant Ergonomists.
