Jeff Langmaid breaks down a new study linking poor posture and workplace ergonomics to upper cross syndrome, the leading cause of neck and shoulder pain in people spending 6-10+ hours daily on computers. He explains the muscle imbalances behind it and how clinicians can fix them.
This is not news to anybody, but we're living in a world today where it is very common for people— could raise my hand some days here— to be spending 6, 8, 10+ hours a day on computers and phones. And the research is becoming crystal clear. Uppercross syndrome is becoming one of the biggest drivers of neck and shoulder dysfunction in the modern workplace. Now, today's paper that we're going to highlight, it does a really good job connecting the dots between posture, workplace ergonomics, muscle imbalance, and then those downstream conditions that you and I see each and every day. So on this episode, we're gonna talk about it simply, we're gonna talk about it clinically, and most importantly, practically, so that you can use this information in your practice starting today.
