It’s a gift… and sometimes a curse… it’s the computer!
There’s no doubt that technology simplifies our lives, but it doesn’t come without a trade-off.
The human body was designed to move, walking, reaching, pushing, and pulling. It adapts to the stresses we place on it every day.
And adaptation works both ways.
If you life weights, your body gets stronger.
If you stretch, your body becomes more flexible.
But if you sit for hours, leaning over a computer… your body adapts to that too.
What is Computer Related Postural Disorder?
Computer Related Postural Disorder, also known as Computer Related Postural Stress Syndrome, is a condition that develops when the body adapts to prolonged sitting and poor posture at a desk or computer.
Over time, this leads to muscle imbalances, joint dysfunction, and stress on the spine and nervous system.
Common Symptoms of Computer Related Postural Disorder
Many people don’t realize their daily discomfort is posture-related. Common symptoms include:
- Pain between the shoulder blades
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Pain radiating from the shoulders into the neck
- Tension headaches
- Carpal tunnel symptoms
- Numbness or tingling down the arms
Theses issues are often progressive, and will continue to worsen without proper treatment.
Our 4-Step Protocol to Correcting Postural Issues
At Moyer Total Wellness, we don’t just treat symptoms, we correct the underlying cause using our proven 4-Step Protocol, developed by Dr. Moyer.
This structured approach helps restore proper posture, reduce pain, and improve long-term function:
- Remove Painful Knots
We use targeted massage therapy techniques to release tight, overworked muscles caused by prolonged sitting. - Lengthen Short Tissues
Shortened muscles from poor posture are stretched to improve flexibility and reduce strain on the body. - Mobilize Affected Joints
Chiropractic care restores proper joint motion and alignment, reducing stress on the spine and nervous system. - Strengthen Weak Muscles
Through targeted fitness and corrective exercises, we strengthen under-active muscles to support better posture and prevent recurrence.
Comprehensive Care for Lasting Results
Your customized care plan may include a combination of:
- Chiropractic care to restore alignment and function
- Massage therapy to reduce muscle tension and improve mobility
- Acupuncture to support pain relief and nervous system balance
- Corrective exercise and fitness to reinforce proper movement patterns
- Infrared sauna to promote recovery and reduce inflammation
We also provide simple, effective home exercises so you can maintain your results between visits.
Why Address Posture Now?
Postural problems develop over time, but so do their consequences.
That hunched, forward posture you may notice in others didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of years of adaptation without correction.
The earlier you address it, the easier it is to fix.
