Slouching at the desk is not the problem

The shift towards remote work has been increasingly prevalent with more people spending longer hours seated in front of a desk and screen. While this transition allows people more flexibility it also raises concerns for its potential impact on the musculoskeletal system.

My husband transitioned to working from home remotely at the start of the pandemic. While he initially seemed unaffected, over time he started to complain of stiffness in his neck. Much of this was due to spending 8-9 hours a day sitting at his desk. Prior to this, although he would commute to work he still had a desk facing role, so what’s changed now?

In his previous office setting, built-in breaks were more naturally incorporated. Currently the absence of walking to meetings, casual interactions with his co-workers and his daily commute have now lead him to spend longer hours at his desk. Recognizing that the lack of movement is the culprit. He started implementing breaks every 30 minutes to reduce his sitting time and adjusted his ergonomic set up. We also got him a standing desk, which allows him to easily transition between sitting and standing. This prevents spending too much time in any one position and he’s made an active effort to take his meeting while standing. Other ways to incorporate movement include setting movement reminders like an alarm, walking while talking on the phone and incorporating simple seated stretches such as seated leg lifts that can be done without leaving the desk.

 

So if you sit for long hours in front of the screen, remember to add some movement into your routine!

Sports Physiotherapy – Our team goes Rock Climbing

As a registered massage therapist who provides sports therapy massage, often to complement the physiotherapy center in our clinic, I advise clients to stretch after any physical activity to prevent injury and improve their overall health. Sports physiotherapy or sports physio along with massage is not only for the elite athlete. Customized treatment plans are created for the weekend warrior as well. I recently had a client ask me what muscles they should stretch before and after rock climbing. Laughingly I said I would get back to them with accurate stretches after our health team went for a fun day of indoor rock climbing at Climbers Rock in Burlington.

Climbers Rock was awesome for giving us tips when climbing. We started the day with a lesson to gain confidence with the ropes and equipment. After we all passed the training we were set to start climbing. As a beginner I found that my muscles were fatigued and sore after a few climbs and that rock climbing is truly a full body workout! I highly recommend it and hope to go back someday and improve my technique.

From the experience I can say that some of the key muscles to stretch after your climbing adventure would include your latissimus dorsi, the muscle you use to pull yourself up the wall. Biceps brachii also used to pull up and stabilize on the wall. Forearm flexors that flex your fingers and hang onto the holds and surprisingly your gastrocnemius and soleus used to push up and balance on small toe holds.

Whether you are a seasoned athlete looking for sports therapy or just starting out and considering a physiotherapy clinic with massage to guide you through your athletic goals come visit our team. Using a collaborative approach our team works hard to help you move better, feel better and play better.
