Injuries associated with office work or heavy labor usually occur because of poor posture, body mechanics, bending and lifting techniques and repetitive strain over time. At work, we simply do too much of one thing or a combination of things that eventually overload our system, resulting in injury. Such repetitive strains combined with stress and poor nutritional choices are the bulk of why we suffer at work. The good news: this is all easy to fix!
