Sitting at a desk all day often leads to what we call “desk posture.”
• Hands forward on a keyboard
• Shoulders rounded
• Head slightly forward
Over time this can create tightness through the chest and contribute to upper back and neck pain.
Prolonged sitting can also cause shortening through the hip flexors and hamstrings — which may lead to low back discomfort and stiffness.
Add in phone calls, multiple screens, or a workstation that isn’t set up properly for your body, and you can end up with uneven muscle tension, weakness, and ongoing aches.
Massage therapy can help by:
• Targeting tight chest, neck, and hip flexor muscles
• Releasing lower back tension
• Improving mobility
• Providing simple stretches (like chest openers)
• Recommend strengthening exercises to support better posture
If your desk job is catching up to you, I’d love to help you feel your best 💚
