What is Office Syndrome?

At Delta Physiotherapy and Rehab, we know that the majority of the workforce spends long hours seated in front of computers, the prevalence of "office syndrome" has surged. This condition encompasses a range of symptoms resulting from prolonged sedentary work. 


Office syndrome is primarily triggered by prolonged periods of sitting, poor posture, repetitive movements, and inadequate ergonomic setups. Engaging in these activities for extended periods can strain muscles, ligaments, and tendons, leading to discomfort and pain.


WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF OFFICE SYNDROME?

Typical symptoms of office syndrome include neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain, stiffness in the spine, and tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers. Over time, these symptoms can escalate, impacting productivity and overall well-being.


HOW DOES PHYSIOTHERAPY HELP TREAT OFFICE SYNDROME?

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in alleviating office syndrome symptoms and preventing their recurrence. At Delta Physiotherapy and Rehab, we’ll first perform a postural analysis. Then, our trained practitioners will provide corrections and provide tailored exercises to improve alignment and strengthen supportive muscles, reducing strain on the body. We’ll then use a combination of exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, laser therapy, and education and lifestyle modification to help you heal your current pain and prevent this injury from reoccuring.
