Pain & Chuna · Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain

Neck, shoulders and lower back that grow stiffer as the workday goes on —
we start from the moments you spend working

When you sit and work for long hours or use a computer and smartphone a lot, discomfort in the neck, shoulders and lower back tends to keep coming back.

Were you fine in the morning, but by the afternoon your neck and trapezius stiffen, and the longer you sit, the more your lower back bothers you?

Recurring moments · Five situations

When neck, shoulder and back pain keeps recurring for office workers

  1. When you look at a monitor for long hours
  2. When your shoulders often feel knotted
  3. When your lower back is uncomfortable from sitting for a long time
  4. When pain gets worse after commuting or work
  5. When you hold the same posture for a long time

By area 01

Neck pain

Your neck may feel stiff, turning your head may be uncomfortable, and the tension may reach your trapezius. We check where the pain is, how you move and your posture in daily life together.

By area 02

Back pain and lower back pain

When your lower back hurts as you sit for a long time or stand up, or you keep straining it, we look at the situation in which the pain started and how you move.

Diagnoses · A closer look

Forward head posture, cervical disc herniation and frozen shoulder

Rather than applying the same treatment based on the diagnosis alone, we check the movements that actually bother you and how the pain presents.
