Desk Based Workers and CBD Commuters
Burwood has strong train access to the Sydney CBD, and many residents commute daily to desk based roles in the city. Long hours at a computer, combined with the physical demands of commuting, contribute to some of the most common conditions seen at the clinic from this area:
- Neck pain and upper back pain from prolonged sitting and screen time
- Sedentary stiffness that builds up through the work week
- Stress related muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw
- Posture related discomfort from sustained desk postures
Initial consultations run for 45 minutes, giving enough time to assess the contributing factors from both work habits and lifestyle and put together a plan that fits around a busy schedule.
Gym Goers and People Staying Active
Burwood has a gym going and casually active community. Many residents train regularly or are working on getting back into exercise after a period of inactivity. Common gym and activity related presentations include:
- Shoulder injuries from pressing and pulling movements
- Lower back pain from deadlifts, heavy loading, and prolonged sitting
- Early stage overuse injuries from ramping up training too quickly
- Knee pain from running and gym based lower body work
- General injuries from trying to stay fit without a structured program
Access to a commercial gym within the clinic means rehabilitation can include the same movements and equipment used in your own training. In some cases, bodyweight exercises alone may not be enough to build strength, which is where access to gym equipment can be beneficial.
Casual Runners
Burwood has a casual running community, with residents using local parks and streets for everyday training. If you are managing a running related injury or want a structured assessment of your technique, an Individual Running Biomechanical Assessment ($200, 90 minutes) is available.
