Did you know that shoulder pain affects up to 26% of the population and is often linked to sedentary work habits, poor posture, and prolonged screen time? Studies show that improper desk setups and excessive sitting during remote work can exacerbate issues like rotator cuff strain and neck-related referred pain.

To combat this, prioritize ergonomic adjustments, regular movement breaks, and exercises to strengthen shoulder muscles. Let’s take steps toward healthier work habits—your shoulders will thank you
