As is well known, the performance demands placed on people have changed dramatically: sedentary work, often lasting eight or more hours, has become the norm. There is also an increased demand for commitment, flexibility and concentration. Hectic pace, stress and constant periods of tension throw our health out of balance. Poor workplace ergonomics, poor back posture, poor neck posture, no time, no motivation are the most well-known triggers. Technical assistance devices such as PCs, laptops and smartphones have become an integral part of our modern lives and make our everyday professional and private life even more one-sided.
Nowadays we even know which angle of the neck corresponds to how many kilograms of load on our neck when we hold our smartphone in our hand in all positions. And yet just knowing and being aware of it doesn't seem to stop us from doing further harm to ourselves.
We all know the consequences:
- Disc degeneration and herniated discs, back problems, pelvic problems
- Recurring sports injuries
- Movement restrictions
- Ligament injuries of the entire musculoskeletal system
- Changes in the posture and musculoskeletal system
- Inflammatory or functional movement disorders
- Neck, shoulder and jaw pain, joint pain
- Migraines, headaches
- Reduction in the ability to regenerate and resilience
- Overloading of the peripheral nerves with abnormal sensations and numbness of the hands, fingers and feet and toes
- Deterioration of the autonomic nervous system and thus the nervous supply to the internal organs - up to an organic increase in tension with breathing restrictions and digestive problems, etc.
