Book a Pilates class in you work place with www.officepilates.iePhysiotherapist taught pilates has been a treatment of choice for these conditions. This low impact exercise has been shown to improve postural awareness, muscle control, flexibility and strength of our entire bodies and can help us reduce the risk or reverse the "bad posture pain trap". So avoid those energy sapping aches and pains and finish your 9-5 with a pep in your step. Prolonged static postures (ie. sitting at a desk all day) can cause our muscles to get tired and changes in our posture leading to inappropriate loading on the spine. This can lead to pain and reduced muscle function. Examples of this pain include aches between the shoulder blades that run into the neck and head, niggling low back pain or sometimes one-side hip pain that runs into the buttock or thigh.
