From Desk Job to Active Lifestyle: Tips for Staying Pain-Free

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us spend hours hunched over desks or staring at screens. While technology has made life easier, it’s also contributed to a surge in posture-related issues. At Pitt Meadows Physiotherapy Clinic, we see the effects of modern life every day—but the good news is, you don’t have to live with the pain!

Common Desk Job Problems

Sitting for prolonged periods can wreak havoc on your body, leading to issues like:

  • Neck and Shoulder Tension: Hours of screen time often cause tightness and

    discomfort.

  • Lower Back Pain: Poor posture and lack of movement can strain your spine.

  • Wrist Pain: Typing and mouse use can result in repetitive strain injuries.
