Chiropractic care for telework and deskwork fatigue - Reset the "body distortion" caused by sitting for long periods of time -
We explain the causes of stiff shoulders and back pain caused by teleworking and desk work. We also introduce how to improve your posture and concentration through chiropractic treatments that align your pelvis and breathing.
Long hours of computer work and online meetings...
Before you know it, you'll find your shoulders are stiff, your lower back is heavy, and your back is hunched.
Do you feel tired from desk work?
In fact, this fatigue is closely related to pelvic misalignment and shallow breathing .
By correcting your sitting posture from the ground up through chiropractic treatment, your body and mind will feel refreshed and lighter.
◆ The impact of sitting posture on the body
The human body is originally designed to move.
Maintaining the same posture for a long period of time can impede blood flow and cause muscles to stiffen.
Especially in desk work,
-
The pelvis tilts backwards and the back becomes rounded (hunchback)
-
Head forward (straight neck)
-
Shoulders roll inward (rounded shoulders)
This tends to be the attitude.
If this condition continues, not only will it increase the strain on your neck, shoulders, and lower back,
Breathing becomes shallow and the balance of the autonomic nervous system is disrupted.
◆ The relationship between the pelvis and breathing
The pelvis is the foundation of the body.
When the pelvis is tilted backward, the curve of the spine collapses,
Your chest will be constricted and your breathing will become shallow.
If you continue to breathe shallowly, your body will be in a constant state of tension (sympathetic nervous system dominant).
Symptoms such as "I can't get rid of fatigue," "I can't concentrate," and "I have shallow sleep" may occur.
In other words, poor sitting posture = pelvic distortion = poor breathing .
Breaking this vicious cycle is the first step to improving desk work fatigue.
◆ What can be done with chiropractic treatment
In chiropractic, we align the body's axis to lead to a posture that makes it easier to breathe.
① Pelvic adjustment
Corrects pelvic tilt and twist, reducing strain on the lower back and back.
It creates a posture that makes sitting less tiring.
② Adjusting the shoulder blades and rib cage
By relaxing your back and shoulders and opening your chest, your breathing will become deeper,
It will lead to a fundamental improvement in neck and shoulder stiffness.
3. Restoring breathing rhythm
Relax your diaphragm and take deep breaths.
It increases oxygen circulation throughout the body and improves concentration.
◆ Self-care you can do at home
1️⃣Pelvic stand stretch
Sit shallowly in a chair, keeping your pelvis upright and your spine straight.
Take three deep breaths in this position. This alone will improve blood flow.
2️⃣Shoulder rotations (10 times forward and backward)
Move your shoulder blades to reset your stiff back.
3️⃣ Stand up every hour
Even if it's just for a minute, standing up will help restore blood flow.
