Pain from Laptop Use: Our Most Common Client Problem

We see it every single day at Andrea’s Touch.

Clients walk in holding their neck, rubbing their shoulders, complaining about headaches or lower back pain — and it all comes down to one thing:

The laptop.

The Setup That’s Giving You Pain from Laptop

Laptops are convenient, portable, great for work-on-the-go — but ergonomically?

They’re a nightmare. You’re hunched over, shoulders rounded, neck jutting forward, wrists twisted. And you stay in that position for hours.

Your body wasn’t built for that.

So here’s what starts happening:

• Neck pain from constantly leaning forward

• Upper back tightness from muscles overworking to hold you up

• Shoulder tension from being locked in a rolled-forward position

• Lower back pain from sitting like a question mark

• Headaches from all of the above

And no — switching chairs or buying a fancy mouse doesn’t fix the damage already done.

Why Massage Works

At Andrea’s Touch, we don’t just relax you — we realign you.

We focus on:

• Releasing the traps, levator scapulae, and pecs that are pulling you forward

• Restoring balance between your front and back muscles

• Easing tension in the lower back and hips

• Improving blood flow so your nervous system calms down

You don’t realise how tight you are until someone starts undoing it.

Don’t Wait for a Breakdown

This isn’t just about pain from laptop— it’s about performance.

The longer you stay in these positions, the harder it is to reverse.

So if you’re working 8+ hours a day on a laptop and feeling it in your body — that’s your cue. Not to stretch randomly, not to “shake it off” — but to fix it properly.

If you’re in front of a screen all day, your body needs help.

Let Andrea’s Touch reset the damage — so your laptop doesn’t win.
