Work Related Injuries
Many work related problems are caused by over-strain of muscles and ligaments due to repetitive movements and poor posture.
Occupations requiring heavy lifting place particular strain on the lower back, although shoulders, elbows and knees often succumb to such problems.
Office workers and those working at a computer for long periods are also at risk of repetitive strain injuries of joints such as the shoulder and wrist.
Osteopathic management of the problem combined with advice on posture and exercise can provide relief from the problem.
