How Poor Posture at Work Is Causing Your Neck Pain — And How to Fix It

The Modern Desk Job and Its Effect on Your Neck
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Hybrid Health, especially among desk workers and remote professionals. If you spend long hours hunched over a screen or sitting without support, it’s likely your posture is contributing to your discomfort.
Our physiotherapy clinic in Bath city centre, located at 28 Milsom Street, BA1 7TH, helps clients every day with posture-related issues that cause chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain.
What Causes Posture-Related Neck Pain?
Poor posture from sitting too long, slouching, or looking down at screens places stress on the neck and surrounding muscles. This can lead to:
Muscle strain and joint stiffness
Imbalanced shoulder and upper back function
Tension headaches
Referred pain into the arms or upper back
This condition, often called “tech neck,” is becoming more common — especially in younger professionals.
How to Tell If It’s Posture-Related Neck Pain
Symptoms often include:
Constant dull pain in the neck and shoulders
A stiff or restricted range of motion
Headaches, especially at the base of the skull
Tension when turning the head or working long hours
Tingling in the arms if nerves are affected
