Desk Job Discomfort? Osteopathic Tips for Better Posture

Spending long hours at a desk can lead to stiffness, aches, and poor posture. Fortunately, a few osteopathic adjustments (and habits) can make a big difference.

Common Complaints We See:
- Neck and shoulder tension 
- Mid-back stiffness 
- Headaches from screen time 
- Lower back pain from poor seating 

Osteopathic Tips for Better Posture:
- Set up your desk ergonomically — monitor at eye level, feet flat, chair supporting lower back 
- Take movement breaks every 30–60 minutes 
- Try a few desk stretches (we can show you!) 
- Use a lumbar support or standing desk if needed 
- Watch how you hold your phone or type — avoid "tech neck" 

Why It Matters
Poor posture can lead to long-term pain and movement restrictions. Osteopathy helps correct imbalances, ease tension, and guide you toward healthier habits.
