Posture Pain Isn’t Just a “Work Thing” — It’s a Movement Problem

Here’s why your neck, shoulders, and upper back stay tight

Tired of Stretching Your Neck and Still Feeling Stiff?

You sit up straight. You’ve tried a standing desk. You even bought that posture corrector thing. And yet… the stiffness is still there.

If you’ve searched “why does my back hurt after sitting all day”, “best physio for posture Sydney”, or “tight shoulders from work”, you’re in the right place.

At Clinical Physio Solutions, we help people across Burwood, Eastgardens, Newington and Top Ryde move better — not just sit straighter.

The Problem with Posture? It’s Not Just Sitting

Poor posture isn’t only about how long you sit — it’s how little you move. And over time, your body adapts to that stillness with:

Tight neck and shoulder muscles

Weakened core and upper back stabilisers

Forward head position and rounded shoulders

Compressed breathing patterns

Tension headaches and nerve irritation

Search intent: “why do I have back pain from desk work”, “upper back tightness treatment physio”

Common Posture-Related Symptoms We Treat

Achy pain between the shoulder blades

Neck tightness or stiffness

Headaches from sitting too long

“Heavy” feeling shoulders at the end of the day

Numbness or tingling in arms (from nerve compression)

Discomfort when lifting, reaching, or twisting

Many of our patients try YouTube stretches, massage, or chiropractic first — but without movement retraining, it keeps coming back.

How Physio Fixes the Root Cause — Not Just the Pain

🧠 1. Postural Assessment in Real Context

We don’t just ask you to stand up straight. We look at your work setup, your movement habits, your shoulder rhythm, and your spinal control — in real life positions.

2. Hands-On Release of Tight Structures

Tight traps, pecs, neck flexors, and thoracic joints often lock you into poor alignment. We use manual therapy, dry needling, and joint mobilisation to restore movement.

3. Strengthening the Forgotten Muscles

Most posture issues come from underworked areas — lower traps, deep neck flexors, thoracic extensors, and obliques. Our physio + Pilates team helps rebuild real support.

4. Habit Building That Actually Sticks

We don’t give you a 40-minute routine. We give you 3–5 targeted, repeatable tools you can use at your desk, in between meetings, or after a long drive.
