Say Goodbye to Desk Posture Pain
Postural Pain & Desk Work: How to End Neck, Back & Shoulder Strain
Postural Pain & Desk Work: Why Your Body Complains and How Massage Therapy Fixes It
In our screen-focused world, many of us spend 8+ hours a day seated at a desk. Over time, poor ergonomics and static positions lead to postural pain syndrome, characterised by:
- Chronic neck, shoulder and upper-back tension
- Lower-back stiffness and aching
- Tension-type headaches and reduced focus
- Limited flexibility and altered movement patterns
These aches and pains aren’t just “part of the job” they’re your body’s way of signalling that your muscles and joints need targeted care.
The Science Behind Desk-Related Postural Pain
- Muscle Imbalances
- Forward-head posture and rounded shoulders shorten chest and neck muscles
- Weak mid-back and core muscles lose support, allowing slouching
- Joint Stress
- Prolonged spinal flexion strains discs and facet joints, triggering inflammation
- Impaired Circulation
- Static sitting reduces blood flow to fatigued tissues, slowing recovery and worsening soreness
Left unchecked, these factors can progress to nerve impingement (e.g. thoracic outlet syndrome) or chronic myofascial pain.

Achilles Tendinitis: How Sports Massage Helps Recovery
' Relieve heel pain and stiffness, restore mobility, and support healing with expert massage therapy
Understanding Achilles Tendinitis and How Sports Massage Can Help
Achilles tendinitis is a common injury that affects the largest tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It’s especially frequent in runners, athletes, and individuals who increase physical activity without proper preparation. But it can also affect anyone who spends long periods on their feet or has poor footwear or posture.
At Range and Restore Sports Massage, based at Energie Wellness Centre on Holloway Road, we see this condition often and help clients recover through targeted, evidence-based massage techniques.
What Causes Achilles Tendinitis?
Achilles tendinitis is typically caused by repetitive strain or overuse. Common contributing factors include:
- Tight calf muscles
- Sudden increase in physical activity
- Inadequate warm-up or stretching
- Poor footwear
- Biomechanical imbalances (e.g., flat feet or overpronation)
These factors place excessive stress on the Achilles tendon, leading to inflammation, micro-tears, and pain.
Symptoms to Watch For:
If you’re experiencing the following, you may be dealing with Achilles tendinitis:
- Pain and stiffness in the back of your heel or lower calf, especially in the morning
- Swelling or tenderness in the area
- Pain that worsens with activity
- A thickened or tender tendon upon touch
Early treatment is key to preventing chronic pain or tendon rupture.
How Can Sports Massage Help?
Sports massage and soft tissue therapy are highly effective for Achilles tendinitis—especially when delivered by a qualified practitioner. At Range and Restore, treatments are tailored based on your condition and activity level.
Benefits of massage therapy for Achilles tendinitis include:
- Releasing tight calf and lower leg muscles to reduce stress on the tendon
- Improving circulation to promote healing
- Reducing inflammation and pain
- Breaking down scar tissue or adhesions
- Enhancing ankle mobility and overall function
We use techniques like myofascial release, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and assisted stretching to support long-term recovery and reduce recurrence.
Preventing Recurrence:
Sports massage is just one piece of the puzzle. Aftercare advice and movement education are also part of your treatment at Range and Restore. We may recommend:
- Calf stretches and strengthening exercises
- Proper warm-up routines
- Footwear recommendations
- Adjustments in training volume or technique
