Office Syndrome: A Common Health Problem Among Modern Workers
Office Syndrome: A Silent Health Threat That Should Not Be Ignored
In an era when working in front of a computer has become part of everyday life, Office Syndrome has emerged as one of the most common health concerns among working-age adults. According to data from the Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health (2025), more than 60% of working-age people are at risk of or already experiencing symptoms of Office Syndrome. The trend is expected to continue rising in 2026, particularly among office workers and people in digital-related professions.
Understanding Chronic Muscle Pain from Office Syndrome
Office Syndrome refers to a group of conditions involving muscle pain and myofascial pain. The main cause is usually the repeated use of muscles in poor posture or maintaining the same position for prolonged periods. This can lead to muscle tightness and spasm, causing tenderness in specific areas or radiating pain to nearby regions. If left untreated, it may develop into chronic pain that affects quality of life.
Warning Signs You Should Not Ignore
Common symptoms of Office Syndrome include:
๐ Tightness or pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
๐ Back pain, especially after sitting for long periods
๐ Pain radiating down the arm, or difficulty fully raising the arm
๐ Leg pain or pain from the hip radiating down the leg
๐ Headaches or symptoms similar to migraine
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek proper evaluation and treatment.

Prevention Is Better Than Treatment
At present, many treatment methods for Office Syndrome mainly address the symptoms, such as muscle inflammation or myofascial tightness, rather than the true underlying causes. Therefore, the most effective way to prevent Office Syndrome is to adjust work habits and daily behavior.
Helpful prevention strategies include changing posture every 30-60 minutes, getting enough rest, reducing accumulated stress, and exercising regularly with stretching routines. These habits can help reduce the risk of long-term injury, improve quality of life, and enhance work performance in a lasting way.
