Say Goodbye to Office Syndrome

Office syndrome is a cluster of muscle and soft-tissue pain from sitting in one posture for long periods without breaks, or from poorly adjusted desks and chairs.

Common symptoms: tightness and pain in the neck, upper back, shoulders, and back; headaches radiating from the shoulders; hand numbness, trigger finger, or wrist tightness.

Prevention: set the screen at eye level and use a chair with proper lumbar support. Stand, rest your eyes, and stretch at least every hour.

Build core muscle strength to support good posture during long workdays.

PNC physiotherapists assess symptoms and apply manual therapy, Shockwave, dry needling, and spinal traction, plus ergonomic guidance and stretching programmes.
