Office Workers in Fanwood with Neck Pain Have Poor Posture

Work-related neck disorders are common among office workers.

In a new study, researchers assessed the relationship between moderate work-related neck disorders and head posture, stiffness, and pain thresholds of the neck muscles in 16 office workers with work-related neck pain and 16 asymptomatic office workers.

They discovered that female office workers with work-related neck pain in Fanwood were more likely to exhibit forward head posture and experience more stiffness in the upper trapezius muscles.

The findings suggest that employers could reduce work-related neck pain by improving ergonomics and promoting proper neck posture among their staff.
