Desk jobs are a major source of posture-related problems. Physiotherapy can identify imbalances and provide tailored strategies to fix them.
If you’re one of the many Canadians working at a desk all day, you’ve probably experienced some of the common side effects: neck stiffness, shoulder tension, back pain, or even headaches.
The culprit? Poor posture from prolonged sitting. The solution? Physiotherapy.
1. Postural Assessment: Finding the Root Cause
A physiotherapist will assess your alignment, spinal posture, muscle imbalances, and core stability to develop a customized plan for lasting relief.
2. Relieves Pain and Tension
Physiotherapy helps reduce neck pain, tight hips, headaches, and more through manual therapy, stretching, and mobility exercises.
3. Strengthens Core and Postural Muscles
Build strength in the core, back, shoulders, hips, and glutes to support long-term posture correction.
4. Teaches Ergonomics and Desk Setup Tips
Learn the ideal desk setup, monitor height, and ergonomic tweaks to stay pain-free during long hours at your workstation.
5. Prevents Long-Term Issues
Early intervention through physiotherapy can prevent chronic back pain, carpal tunnel, and disc problems from prolonged desk work.
