Understanding Workplace Posture Injuries
Common Workplace Posture Problems
Root Causes of Poor Workplace Posture
- Improper Desk Setup: Non-adjustable desks force awkward positions, stressing the musculoskeletal system.
- Inadequate Chair Support: Poor lumbar support causes slouching and spinal deformities.
- Extended Screen Time: "Tech neck" from forward head posture strains the cervical spine.
- Stress and Fatigue: Tension/slumping worsens posture cycle—mindfulness/exercise helps.
