Sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day places enormous cumulative stress on your spine, shoulders, and wrists. Whether you have a workplace injury or chronic pain from prolonged sitting, we can help you work comfortably and pain-free.
Prolonged sitting, repetitive keyboard and mouse use, and poor workstation ergonomics are among the most common causes of musculoskeletal pain in working adults. We treat:
Research published in the European Spine Journal (2014) found that sedentary workers who sit for more than 6 hours per day have significantly higher rates of neck and lower back pain than those who sit for fewer than 4 hours. Prolonged sitting increases lumbar disc pressure, weakens the deep stabilising muscles of the spine, and promotes forward head posture — all of which contribute to pain and injury.
The good news is that these changes are largely reversible with targeted physiotherapy, ergonomic modification, and a structured exercise program. You do not need to change careers to work pain-free.
We assess your posture, spinal mobility, and movement patterns to identify the specific deficits driving your pain — whether that is thoracic stiffness, weak deep neck flexors, or tight hip flexors from prolonged sitting.
Joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, and dry needling to restore mobility, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain quickly — so you can focus on the exercises that produce lasting change.
A personalised exercise program targeting the specific weaknesses and restrictions identified in your assessment — designed to fit into a busy work schedule with exercises you can do at your desk or at home.
Practical, evidence-based advice on workstation setup, sitting posture, movement breaks, and load management — addressing the environmental factors that are perpetuating your pain.
We accept WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) claims for workplace injuries.
