Posture and pain at work

Poor posture and pain with work? A Physios role to getting you able to work without the hassle

Why Your Posture is Causing Pain (And How We Can Help)

Do you get neck pain from looking at your phone? Does your back ache after sitting at your desk? At ACE Health Centre, we help every day Gold Coast folks fix these problems for good – no confusing medical terms, just real solutions.

How Bad Posture Hurts You

1. The “Phone Hunch” Problem

  • When you look down at your phone, your head weighs as much as a bowling ball
  • This strains your neck muscles all day long
  • Leads to: headaches, stiff neck, shoulder pain

2. The “Office Slouch” Effect

  • Sitting like a banana at your desk
  • Puts extra pressure on your spine
  • Causes: lower back pain, tight hips, tiredness

3. Why “Just Sit Straight” Doesn’t Work

  • Your body has forgotten good posture
  • Weak muscles can’t hold you properly
  • Need to retrain your whole body
