Desk Job Blues Dont Let Work Injuries Slow You Down Exploring Work Injury Physiotherapy in Edmonton

Sitting at a desk all day may not seem as physically demanding as, say, scaling a mountain. But trust us, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and heavy lifting can wreak havoc on your body. Enter work injury physiotherapy in Edmonton – your path to recovery and a pain-free workday.
Think of work injury physiotherapy as a tune-up for your body. It helps you heal from work-related injuries and get back to feeling your best, preventing future problems along the way.
Let's delve into the most common work-related injuries and how work injury physiotherapy in Edmonton from Turning Point Physical Therapy can help you get back on track.
Back Pain: This one's a classic. Poor posture, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting can all lead to back pain, tightness, and even sciatica (pain radiating down the leg). Work injury physiotherapists use manual therapy, core strengthening exercises, and ergonomic advice to alleviate pain and improve spinal health.


Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): Carpal tunnel syndrome, anyone? RSIs are common among computer users, cashiers, and anyone who performs repetitive motions throughout the day. Physiotherapists can help by reducing inflammation, improving flexibility, and teaching proper techniques to prevent further strain.


Shoulder Injuries: Rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement – these can be caused by overhead activities or lifting heavy objects. Work injury physiotherapy focuses on pain management, strengthening exercises to improve stability, and regaining full range of motion in your shoulder.


Neck Pain: Desk jockeys, this one's for you! Hunched posture and staring at screens all day can lead to neck pain and headaches. Physiotherapy can help by addressing muscle tightness, improving posture, and strengthening the neck muscles for better support.


Sprains and Strains: Slipping on the office floor or lifting something awkwardly can happen to anyone. Work injury physiotherapy helps with sprains and strains by reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and restoring mobility through targeted exercises.
