Whether you work in an office or from home, aches and pains that come from sitting at a computer desk for long periods of time are all too familiar to many of us.💻💻💻

These aches, pains, weakness or tingling are felt in the neck, shoulder, upper and lower back, wrist and elbow joints and hands.

Just because these pains are common, does not mean it's ok for you to put up with! ⛔⛔

So, if you're experiencing discomfort while sitting at your desk, take early corrective action. Taylor Thornburg Physical Therapy, Inc. will listen to your symptoms and assess you to help provide appropriate treatment. We can also help you with your posture, desk set up and work technique to prevent and help you recover from desk-related issues.

Being stuck in the same position for any length of time, whether it's behind a desk or due to a medical condition, is a sure recipe for bad posture and all the health problems that go hand in hand with a less-than-perfect posture. We're talking aches and pains in your back, hips, shoulders, neck, arms and more.😔😔

It's a particular problem now that many of us work from home, sometimes from our sofa or dining table. The good news is that at Taylor Thornburg Physical Therapy, Inc. we've been dealing with posture-related problems for years, and it's nothing that a assessment, some good advice and some easy exercises can't help with.

So strike a pose, because Taylor Thornburg Physical Therapy, Inc. is happy to serve people in Oakland for all their posture related needs!😀
