Eight hours on a laptop, then more on your phone. If your neck feels stiff, your shoulders are always tight or your lower back aches by evening, your posture is probably the cause. Our osteopathy assessment finds where the strain is coming from and corrects it with gentle, hands-on treatment.
Stiffness and pain in the neck from looking down at a phone or laptop for hours. Often comes with tension headaches.
Tight, knotted shoulders and an ache between the shoulder blades from hunching forward at a desk.
A dull ache or stiffness in the lower back after long hours in a chair, a car or on the couch.
Pain is often felt in one place but caused somewhere else. A stiff neck may come from a rounded upper back; lower back pain may come from tight hips after long hours of sitting.
Consults on osteopathic assessment and hands-on treatment at Sattva — for back and neck pain, posture and joint stiffness, as well as headaches and migraine, jaw pain, sciatica, sports injuries and digestive discomfort such as acid reflux.
If the pain keeps coming back despite these changes, it is worth getting assessed.
It is very common now, but it is not something you should simply live with. Long hours on laptops and phones put steady strain on the neck, shoulders and lower back. Addressed early, these patterns are usually easier to correct.
A massage mainly relaxes muscles. Osteopathy starts with an assessment of your posture, joints and movement to find where the strain is coming from, then uses gentle hands-on techniques and simple exercises to correct it.
It depends on how long you have had the pain and your daily routine. Your osteopath will suggest a plan after the first assessment. Improvement usually happens over a series of sessions, not in one visit.
