Desk posture and neck or shoulder strain

Small changes to how you work, and regular movement breaks, can ease strain from long hours at a desk.

No single sitting position is perfect. Staying in any one posture for long periods is what tends to build up stiffness and strain in the neck, shoulders and back.

Practical changes

  • Position the screen so you are not craning forward
  • Keep frequently used items within easy reach
  • Change position regularly and take short movement breaks
  • Alternate sitting and standing tasks if possible

When to get it checked

If discomfort persists, wakes you at night or spreads into the arm or hand, arrange an assessment so the cause can be identified.
