Understanding Postural Strain
Our bodies are designed to move, yet many of us spend 8+ hours a day in a seated position. Over time, certain muscles (like the upper traps and pecs) become short and tight, while others (like the deep neck flexors and mid-back) become weak and overstretched.
Common Symptoms
- A constant “nagging” ache between the shoulder blades.
- Tension headaches.
- A feeling of being “hunched” or tight across the chest.
The Ashbourne Approach
We don’t just “rub out” the knots. We analyse your workstation setup and daily habits. We use myofascial release to ease the tight areas and prescribe “anti-slump” exercises that strengthen your postural support system, making you more resilient to the demands of modern desk work.
