Office Syndrome

Tension release and functional improvement

Office worker reset therapy

Office Syndrome is a modern condition created by prolonged sitting, screen use and repetitive desk-based postures. It commonly presents as neck stiffness, shoulder tension, upper-back tightness, lower-back fatigue and headaches.

This targeted sports massage treatment is designed to release chronic tension, restore movement quality and rebalance the body after long hours of desk work, driving or screen-based tasks.

This is not a relaxation massage – it is a corrective, results-driven session focused on posture restoration, tension release and functional improvement.

Who This Treatment Is For

This treatment is ideal for:

  • Office workers and remote workers
  • People with chronic neck and shoulder tightness
  • Clients experiencing tension headaches
  • Upper-back stiffness and restricted shoulder movement
  • Lower back fatigue from prolonged sitting
  • Anyone with poor posture or tech-neck symptoms

Assessment & Postural Screening

Each session begins with a brief visual and functional assessment to identify posture imbalances and muscular compensation patterns.

This may include:

  • Head and shoulder positioning
  • Forward head posture analysis
  • Scapular positioning and shoulder mechanics
  • Thoracic spine mobility checks
  • Pelvic tilt and lower-back tension patterns
  • Breathing pattern observation

This allows the treatment to be fully targeted and outcome-based.

Treatment Techniques Used

This session combines sports therapy and corrective soft tissue techniques to address both surface tension and deeper structural restrictions.

Techniques may include:

  • Deep tissue and soft tissue release
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Myofascial release
  • Deep fibre work along shortened muscle lines
  • Assisted stretching and mobility work

Primary focus areas:

  • Neck and upper trapezius
  • Levator scapulae
  • Rhomboids and mid-back
  • Thoracic spine
  • Pectoral muscles
  • Hip flexors and lower back (if desk-related tightness is present)

Benefits of Office Syndrome Treatment

Clients typically experience:

  • Reduced neck and shoulder tension
  • Improved posture and alignment
  • Easier head and neck movement
  • Relief from tension headaches
  • Increased thoracic mobility
  • Improved breathing mechanics
  • Better comfort at work and during sleep

Aftercare & Postural Advice

Following the session, light postural guidance and mobility advice may be provided to help maintain the results, including:

  • Desk height and screen positioning tips
  • Micro-movement habits
  • Simple mobility sequences to reduce daily tension • Breathing strategies for upper body relaxation
