In an independent national survey commissioned by the Australian Chiropractors Association, of more than 1000 Australians, 87% of respondents reported experiencing a work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD).

WMSDs are caused by physical stress, mental stress, repetitive work and poorly set up non-ergonomic workspaces. Conditions like chronic neck and back pain, shoulder stiffness, and headaches are often linked to modifiable risk factors in Australian workplaces.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) – what are they?
A range of inflammatory and degenerative conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, peripheral nerves and supporting blood vessels, WMSDs may be caused by a single workspace event, but commonly result from repeated harmful workspace activities over an extended period of time.

WorkSpace Week aims to reduce the occurrence and impact of WMSDs caused by physical stress, mental stress, repetitive work and poorly set up non-ergonomic workspaces. Chronic neck and back pain, shoulder stiffness and headaches can be linked to modifiable risk factors in Australian workplaces.
