Modern work life often means hours of sitting — and your body feels it. Prolonged sitting places significant stress on the spine, hips, and neck, leading to stiffness, fatigue, headaches, and chronic pain.
At Jones Physical Therapy in Madisonville & Hammond, we help patients reverse these effects with posture correction, strengthening, and movement strategies.
