The modern working world requires long hours of sitting, which leads to increased stress and a lack of concentration. Poor ergonomics in the workplace and constant use of technical devices such as PCs and smartphones exacerbate these problems.
Nowadays we even know which angle of the neck corresponds to how many kilograms of weight on our neck when we hold our smartphone in our hand in any position. And yet, the knowledge and awareness of this alone does not seem to stop us from further harming ourselves.
We all know the consequences:
- Disc degeneration and herniated discs, back problems, pelvic problems
- Recurring sports injuries
- Restricted movement
- Ligament injuries of the entire musculoskeletal system
- Changes in the musculoskeletal system
- Inflammatory or functional movement disorders
- Neck, shoulder and jaw pain, joint pain
- Migraine, headache
- Reduction in regenerative capacity and resilience
- Overload of the peripheral nerves with paraesthesia and numbness of the hands, fingers and feet and toes
-
Deterioration of the autonomic nervous system and thus of the nervous supply to the internal organs – up to an increase in organic tension with respiratory restrictions and digestive problems, etc.
