Desk workers with neck pain - causes & solutions.

Do you suffer with neck pain and stiffness? There are many possible reasons as to why you feel this way. One of which is your occupation.

Passive Stretch

More and more of us are working from desks, either at the office or working from home. Spending hours and hours everyday, stuck in the same position, can lead to aches, stiffness and pain in the neck (amongst other parts of the body).

Neck pain can lead to loss of concentration, headaches and longer terms mobility issues. Overtime, if you don't treat the issue and make changes to your day-to-day, the issues can become more severe and harder to correct. Below are a list of causes and solutions for desk based neck pain.

Causes:

• Bad posture

• Incorrect desk set-up

• long periods with movement or breaks

• lack of movement outside of work

• muscle weakness

• lack of mobility

Solutions:

• Stretching (passive, dynamic, static)

• Sports Massage Therapy

• Exercise (strength based)

• Regular 'movement' breaks

• Staying Hydrated

Here at SW Sports Massage and Fitness, we offer solutions to these issues in Aberdeen. Options include 30 minute passive stretch sessions and/or 1 hour long sports massage sessions.
