Hello again, sorry for the delay in posting.
Have you any idea of the number of people who are suffering to various degrees with posture related back pain?
I have no figures to hand, but the fact that large companies carry out worstation assesments on a regular basis certainly makes me think. Some years ago I had a client who presented with shoulder and lower back pain. The pain was enough for her to come to me and ask for a massage treatment. I gave her a fullbody massage, concentrated on her shoulders and back, pelvis and legs. She left feeling greatly relaxed, less the pain. A week later she was back with the same pain. Again I corrected her body, and she left feeling as good as before. A week later she was back again with the pain and I massaged her. This was repeated about 5 times before we sat down and discussed her work and home routines. Eventually we discovered that at work she sat twisted in front of a VDU, with a telephone handset held between her head and kneck. After a discussion with her employers, the workstation set up was canged and I lost a client.
I will be talking more about posture on my website, but if you have any questions please dont hesitate to drop me a line.
regards
Paul
