Core Physiotherapy Service · Individual & Corporate · Yelahanka, North Bangalore
Most desk-related neck and back pain is not caused by a single injury. It is caused by a chair, a screen height and a habit, repeated eight hours a day. We assess how you actually work, correct what is driving your symptoms, and give you the exercise habits that stop it returning.

You take treatment, the neck pain settles, you return to work, and three weeks later it is back. This is the single most common pattern we see in working adults in North Bangalore — and it is entirely predictable. Treatment addressed the tissue; nothing addressed the eight hours a day that irritated it.
The body tolerates almost any position for a short period. What it does not tolerate is the same position, sustained, repeated, without variation. A monitor six inches too low tips your head forward; a head-forward posture multiplies the load your neck muscles carry; those muscles fatigue, tighten and refer pain into the shoulders and skull. No amount of manual therapy outlasts the desk.
Ergonomic assessment is the part of treatment that makes the rest of it stick. It is also the cheapest form of prevention available to any organisation, because a workstation change costs almost nothing compared with the productivity lost to recurring musculoskeletal pain.
For anyone whose pain is linked to how they sit, stand, drive, lift or sleep.
Your ergonomic assessment is conducted jointly by a physiotherapist with an MPT in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation and a General Physician. This is deliberate. A workstation review on its own is a furniture exercise; what makes it clinically useful is a musculoskeletal specialist reading your posture, movement and tissue findings against how you actually work, alongside a physician screening the general health factors that also drive fatigue, headaches and pain through the working day. This joint assessment is why the ergonomic assessment is priced at ₹700 rather than the standard ₹400 physiotherapy consultation.

Chair height and depth, lumbar support, armrest position, desk height, monitor height and distance, keyboard and mouse placement, footrest need, document and phone position.
The single biggest contributor to neck pain in office workers, since a laptop cannot place the screen and keyboard at correct heights simultaneously.
Dining tables, sofas, beds and other improvised workstations, assessed for what can realistically be improved.
Sitting tolerance, movement frequency, break patterns and how posture deteriorates in the last hours of the day.
Sustained neck flexion (“text neck”) and thumb overuse.
Seat angle, lumbar support, mirror position, steering grip and journey length, relevant for long Bengaluru commutes.
Pillow height and number, mattress support and sleep position, a frequent hidden cause of morning neck and back pain.
Lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling technique for those whose work involves physical load.
Sustained forward-leaning and static holds for healthcare staff, standing tolerance for retail/hospitality staff, and study posture for students.
A clear explanation of which specific setup factors are driving your symptoms.
Practical, prioritised corrections — starting with the changes that cost nothing.
Equipment recommendations only where genuinely needed, with specifications rather than brand pressure.
A micro-break and movement schedule that fits your actual working day.
A short targeted exercise programme — postural endurance work, not generic stretches.

Common questions about Ergonomic Assessment & Advice at Impulse Physiotherapy, Yelahanka.
An evaluation of how your body interacts with your work and daily environment — desk, chair, screen, keyboard, vehicle, bed and physical tasks — to identify what is producing or perpetuating your pain, and what specifically to change.
Anyone with desk-related neck, back, shoulder or wrist pain; anyone whose pain returns each time they go back to work; work-from-home employees; drivers; students with heavy study loads; and staff in physically demanding roles.
No. Prevention is the cheaper and more effective use of it, particularly for people newly working long hours at a screen or setting up a home office.
An individual assessment at the centre typically runs 45 to 60 minutes. On-site workplace assessments are scheduled according to the number of workstations involved.
An ergonomic assessment at the centre is ₹700 — higher than the standard ₹400 physiotherapy consultation because it is carried out jointly by a physiotherapist with an MPT in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation and a General Physician. An on-site or home assessment is ₹750 per visit. Management sessions are ₹800 to ₹1,000 for 45 to 60 minutes. The assessment fee is adjusted against your treatment and waived entirely once you start a package. Corporate programme pricing is customised to your organisation's requirements.
Yes. We provide ergonomic assessments, posture training, workplace wellness and injury prevention programmes for organisations, with pricing customised to requirements. Call 8009537637%20953-7637) to discuss.
Yes. On-site workplace assessments are available for both individuals and organisations across Yelahanka and North Bangalore, charged at ₹750 per visit for an individual assessment. Organisation-wide programmes are quoted separately.
Yes — either through a home visit at ₹750 per visit, or at the centre using photographs and measurements of your setup, which works well for most home offices.
No. Most of the meaningful gains come from adjusting what you already have — screen height, chair height, keyboard position, and how often you move. Equipment is recommended only where it is genuinely necessary, with specifications so you can choose your own supplier.
Screen top roughly at eye level and about an arm's length away; elbows near 90 degrees with forearms supported; wrists neutral; lower back supported by the chair; hips slightly higher than knees; feet flat on the floor or on a footrest. Your assessment adapts this to your body dimensions and tasks.
Not inherently. Standing all day causes its own problems. The benefit comes from *alternating* between sitting and standing, which is why the schedule matters more than the desk.
Short, frequent movement breaks work better than long occasional ones. A brief change of position every 30 to 45 minutes is a practical target for most desk roles, and your programme will set a schedule that fits your actual workday.
Because a laptop cannot place the screen at eye level and the keyboard at elbow level at the same time. Either your neck bends down or your shoulders lift up. A separate keyboard and mouse with the laptop raised on a stand resolves this at very low cost.
Sustained forward bending of the neck while looking at a phone. The load on the neck structures increases substantially as the head tips further forward, and hours of it daily produces neck pain, headaches and upper back tightness.
They remove the cause, which is essential — but established pain, stiffness and muscle weakness usually need treatment as well. The most reliable results come from combining ergonomic correction with hands-on treatment and exercise.
Postural endurance work for the deep neck flexors and mid-back, thoracic mobility, hip flexor and chest length work, and frequent position changes. Your programme is specific to your findings rather than a generic stretch list.
Yes. Seat angle, lumbar support, seat distance, mirror position and steering grip are all assessed — relevant for anyone with a long daily commute.
Yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed factors. Pillow height and number, mattress support and sleeping position are reviewed, particularly where your pain is worst on waking.
Yes. Manual handling and safe lifting training is available for warehouse, housekeeping, nursing, maintenance and other physically demanding roles, delivered on site.
Yes. We are open to partnering with schools, colleges, sports teams and academies for posture education, injury prevention, fitness screening and wellness programmes.
Yes. Sustained forward-leaning and static holds create a distinct pattern of neck, upper back and shoulder problems in clinical staff, and the corrections differ from standard desk advice.
Yes. For employees returning after injury or surgery, we assess the physical demands of the role against current capacity and advise on modified duties and a graded return.
A prioritised list of findings per workstation or role, low-cost immediate corrections, equipment recommendations where needed, a summary of common issues across the organisation, and suggested education or exercise interventions.
Programmes are scoped to your organisation. Numbers, scheduling and format are agreed during the initial discussion, along with pricing.
Yes. Study desk setup, chair height, school bag weight and how it is carried, and screen use are all assessed. Children with pain also receive a physiotherapy assessment — see Pediatric Physiotherapy.
It can be. Screen height, distance, glare and lighting affect both neck posture and eye strain. We address the postural side, and eye assessment is available through Vikshana Eye Center, another Anand Abhigyan vertical.
Yes. Where ergonomic advice is part of your treatment plan, the follow-up review confirms that changes were actually implemented and checks whether symptoms have responded. Corporate programmes can include a scheduled review visit.
A physiotherapist with an MPT in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, together with a General Physician. The physiotherapist assesses posture, movement, joint range and muscle findings against how you actually work; the physician screens the general health factors that also contribute to workplace fatigue and pain. You receive one combined set of recommendations rather than two separate opinions.
