喺銅鑼灣嘅商業區，上班族長時間使用電腦同手機，肩頸問題日益普遍。物理治療臨床觀察顯示，肩頸僵硬同疼痛嘅主要成因包括不良姿勢、肌肉繃緊同缺乏活動。例如，前傾頭姿勢（Forward Head Posture）會增加頸椎壓力，每前傾1英寸，頸部負荷增加約4.5公斤。長時間維持呢啲姿勢，可能導致斜方肌上束過度活躍，觸發痛點（Trigger Points）。
銅鑼灣嘅快節奏生活加劇咗呢啲問題。上班族每日通勤同伏案工作，少有機會放鬆肩頸肌肉，久而久之可能出現慢性不適，甚至延伸至頭痛或手臂麻痺。物理治療研究指出，及早矯正姿勢同加強肩胛穩定性係預防惡化嘅關鍵。
喺物理治療中，我哋會透過姿勢評估檢查頸椎前傾程度同肩胛骨位置，再用手法治療放鬆繃緊肌肉，例如針對斜方肌或胸小肌。復康運動亦係重要一環。例如，一個簡單嘅「頸部後縮運動」（Chin Tuck）：坐直，肩膊放鬆，輕輕將下巴向後收，維持5秒，重複10次，每日2-3組，可改善頸椎排列。另一個係「肩胛後縮」（Scapular Retraction）：雙手放喺椅邊，肩胛骨向後夾緊，維持5秒，重複10次，強化中背肌肉。
銅鑼灣上班族可以喺午飯時間或下班後試做呢啲運動，減少肩頸負擔。物理治療服務（例如喺銅鑼灣嘅樂動預健）會根據個人情況提供進一步評估同指導，收費約$850-$1,000/次。如有肩頸不適，及早關注係明智嘅選擇。
In Causeway Bay’s business hub, prolonged computer and phone use among office workers has made shoulder and neck issues common. Clinical physiotherapy observations highlight causes like poor posture, muscle tightness, and inactivity. For instance, forward head posture increases cervical spine stress—each inch forward adds about 4.5 kg of load. Sustaining such positions can over-activate the upper trapezius, forming trigger points and discomfort.
Causeway Bay’s fast-paced lifestyle amplifies these issues. Daily commutes and desk work leave little time for relaxation, potentially leading to chronic pain, headaches, or arm numbness. Physiotherapy studies emphasize that early posture correction and shoulder stability exercises are vital to prevent worsening.
In physiotherapy, we assess forward head angle and scapular positioning, using manual therapy to release tight muscles like the trapezius or pectoralis minor. Rehab exercises are equally crucial. Try the “Chin Tuck”: sit upright, relax shoulders, gently pull your chin back, hold for 5 seconds, repeat 10 times, 2-3 sets daily to align the cervical spine. Another is “Scapular Retraction”: place hands on chair edges, squeeze shoulder blades back, hold 5 seconds, repeat 10 times to strengthen mid-back muscles.
Causeway Bay workers can do these during lunch breaks or after work to ease strain. Physiotherapy services, like those at Happy Prehab in Causeway Bay, offer tailored assessments and guidance (fees around $850-$1,000/session). Addressing shoulder and neck discomfort early is a practical step forward.
