Understand the pattern
Assessment looks at when symptoms appear, how they change through the day, relevant movement and the tasks that are difficult. This helps separate useful changes from generic ergonomic advice.

WHAT YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING
Is this affecting your day?
These are common reasons people seek an assessment. They do not confirm a diagnosis.
01
End-of-day stiffness
Neck, shoulder or back symptoms that build across the working day.
02
Sustained-position discomfort
Difficulty remaining comfortable during computer work or driving.
03
Movement breaks help
Symptoms that change when you stand, walk or alter position.
04
Work setup questions
Uncertainty about desk habits, ergonomics or activity balance.
START WITH CLARITY
Better habits, not perfect posture.
Posture is only one part of the picture. We consider your symptoms, work demands, movement variety, stress, sleep and activity before recommending practical changes that fit your day.
Treatment is only recommended when clinically appropriate. Further testing, medical review or referral may be advised depending on your presentation.

Desk posture and work-related strain in Carlingford
Long periods at a desk can contribute to neck, shoulder or back discomfort, but there is rarely one perfect posture that solves everything. Workload, movement variety, screen setup, strength, sleep and stress can all influence how the body responds.
Build more options into the day
Recommendations may include movement breaks, workstation adjustments, mobility, strength and treatment when appropriate. The goal is to increase tolerance and options rather than making you fearful of sitting.
For local workers and commuters
Back Space is accessible to professionals and home-based workers from Carlingford, Epping, Eastwood, North Rocks, Oatlands, Telopea, Dundas Valley, Beecroft and West Pennant Hills.
