Sitting all day is bad for your health, and poor posture only makes it worse. Staying seated for hours can strain the spine, tighten hip flexors, and lead to headaches or nerve compression. Over time, this can limit mobility and cause long-term pain conditions.

• Neck and shoulder pain: Hunching forward while using a computer or phone strains the neck muscles and upper back, often causing tension headaches or nerve-related pain.

• Lower back pain and disc issues: Slouching or sitting without lumbar support increases spinal pressure, which can lead to sciatica or disc injuries. A weak core also forces the lower back to overwork, adding more strain.

• Wrist and elbow strain: Poor keyboard and mouse positioning can cause repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow.

• Hip and leg tightness: Sitting shortens the hip flexors, affects circulation, and can lead to swelling, stiffness, and balance issues.

• Sciatica and nerve compression: Continuous pressure on the sciatic nerve may cause radiating leg pain, weakness, or numbness.

Ignoring these early symptoms can weaken your muscles over time, eventually restricting movement and reducing your overall quality of life.

Sitting all day doesn’t just make you uncomfortable—it trains your body into poor movement patterns that can lead to serious injuries like sciatica, disc degeneration, and rotator cuff pain. The good news? You don’t have to accept discomfort as part of your work routine.

Physiotherapy goes beyond temporary relief by addressing the root cause of posture-related pain.

Seeking physiotherapy isn’t just about fixing discomfort—it’s about preventing chronic pain, improving movement efficiency, and ensuring your body stays strong despite long hours at a desk.

The sooner you address these issues, the better your body will feel in the long run.

✔ Restoring Postural Alignment – A physio assesses your posture, movement habits, and workstation setup to identify muscle imbalances and poor ergonomic habits, making adjustments that reduce strain on your spine and joints.

✔ Strengthening Core & Postural Muscles – Weak core muscles force the spine to overcompensate, leading to pain and instability. Physiotherapy strengthens your core and postural muscles for better spinal support and long-term relief.

✔ Improving Flexibility & Mobility – Sitting tightens muscles and limits movement. Through Clinical Pilates, strength training, and mobility exercises, physiotherapy helps restore flexibility and joint function.

✔ Relieving Pain & Tension with Hands-On Therapy – Manual therapy techniques like massage, dry needling, and joint mobilisation release muscle tightness, improve circulation, and ease tension.

✔ Preventing Future Injuries with Ergonomic Adjustments – Your workspace plays a huge role in your health. Physiotherapists provide ergonomic guidance on chair positioning, screen height, and desk setup to reduce strain and keep you pain-free.
