Musculoskeletal stress and pain are common issues that can arise from various factors such as repetitive motion, poor posture, auto accident or inadequate ergonomic conditions. This type of stress affects the muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons, often leading to discomfort or chronic pain. For instance, individuals who work at desks for long periods without proper ergonomic support might experience tension in the neck and shoulders. On the other hand, manual laborers may suffer from joint pain due to continuous heavy lifting. Stress in the musculoskeletal system can decrease mobility, reduce productivity, and affect overall quality of life if not addressed. Preventive measures such as regular exercise, stretching, adjustments, and mindful movement practices can help alleviate and manage these stressors effectively.
