Global Sport and Movement Collaborative
Posture exercise for neck pain
Poor posture and movement (or lack of movement) are linked to chronic pain. Exercise and incidental movement help to reduce pain. This project is developing a new intervention strategy to reduce chronic neck pain in office workers, focussed on improving posture and reducing sedentary behaviour in the workplace. This includes a measurement tool to quantify 3D kinematics in real-world environments outside the laboratory.
This project is led by Professor Suzanne Snodgrass at the University of Newcastle.
