Work related postural strains are very common, and often involve muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and nerves. Poor posture at work, whether one is sitting at a desk or involved in manual jobs, can be a major contributor to pain and discomfort.
Physiotherapy specializes in bio mechanical assessment to determine postural deficiencies, muscle imbalance, and dysfunction. Treatment is focused on improving posture through specific training, education and exercise, manual therapy, and ergonomic assessment.
