How does working at a desk affect your muscles?
Working at a computer for long periods can seem effortless but can have a huge impact on the large and small muscles of the body.
​
Smaller muscles of the forearms and hands contracting possibly over a hundred times in one computer session.
​
At the same time larger muscles of the neck and upper back and shoulders remain static and under continuous contraction to hold your head and arms in the position able to operate the keyboard or mouse of their computer.
​
This position can cause Trigger points in any part of the upper body.
Postural Stress- can happen when seated for long periods or by not having the correct chair to support your body.
Sitting in positions that are awkward or put strain on the body in your work place may be subjecting certain muscles to contract or put continuous strain and tension on them.
Myofascial problems such as Trigger points may develop and lay dormant until the muscles become more restricted and the range of motion is lessened.
​
Fusionage therapies Soft Tissue Techniques can help relieve muscle pain and help restore imbalances in the body's postural chain of muscles.

Do you need to BOOK an Appointment??
I''Rachael is an incredible massage therapist. I recently visited her for a deep tissue massage and came away feeling like a different person. She used a wide range of techniques to release my neck, shoulders, back and legs. Rachael applies a superb amount of pressure, however she always checks in with you to ensure that you can cope with this. Her space is relaxing and comfortable, and I will definitely be visiting again very soon. Thank you!

'' Rachael is incredible at what she does. She has gotten me in the best possible position to run 2 marathons in 3 weeks. She somehow managed to reduce some niggle pain and then helped put me back together afterwards. Not only a miracle worker, but a super lovely & friendly person who I massively enjoy visiting. Couldn’t recommend enough, thank you Rachael ''
