Neck injuries are common occurrences in motor vehicular and other types of accidents. Once of the most common neck injury is a whiplash injury. This occurs when someone travelling in a car is hit from behind causing the head to be flung forward and then immediately backwards. 
This causes tenderness and swelling around the upper back, neck and shoulder region as well as muscle spasm. The person has pain especially on moving the neck. There is so much discomfort that the person may need to wear a neck brace for a period time to allow the muscle to heal.  
If this is you, please consult your GP of physiotherapist for advice and treatment. For further information please contact Kamithealth based in East London.

Back support for your office chair

During the pandemic lock down most of us had to work from home and that meant setting up an office space that allowed you to work comfortably and to perform well on the job, albeit at home.
For some this was a challenge especially around seating. Some of you may have developed back ache, or low back pain because of maladjusted, poorly designed seats or insufficient back support. Using an ergonomic chair with backseat support goes a long way to pain relief and posture improvement. 
For more advice please contact your physiotherapist at kamithealth, East London and we will be happy to help you.
