Why Office Work is Such a Pain!
The most common cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders is ‘body stressing’, which can be caused by repetitive movements such as:
- Sitting in the one position for long periods of time
- Sitting with bad postural alignment
- Long periods of bad neck and head position (think of how you look at your computer screen)
- Incorrect office ergonomics
