Why Office Workers Are at Risk
Long hours at a desk, poor ergonomics, and limited movement contribute to lower back pain for office workers in Rydalmere and Parramatta. Over time, this can lead to stiffness, discomfort, and chronic pain if left unmanaged.

Sitting for extended periods with poor posture
