Understanding Neck Pain in Brisbane Workplaces:
Neck pain in the workplace can stem from various factors, including:
Prolonged Sedentary Work:
Common in office settings, where workers are desk-bound for the majority of the day.
Repetitive Strain:
Frequently seen in roles requiring continuous movement or static postures, such as retail, manufacturing, and construction.
Poor Ergonomic Practices:
A factor often contributing to neck pain, particularly in environments not optimised for worker comfort and safety.
Stress:
The pressures of deadlines and high workloads can exacerbate physical tension and lead to neck pain.
