A Bengaluru IT worker who types 6+ hours a day carries **~4.5 kg of extra load on the cervical spine** for every 15° of forward head tilt. Pro Physiotherapy runs a **7-step RSI + tech-neck programme** — postural triage, dry needling of the upper trapezius, cervical traction, nerve flossing, wrist/forearm eccentrics, ergonomic desk redesign and monthly re-scoring. **Sessions from ₹549.

The Pathophysiology of Tech-Neck & Repetitive Strain
Tech-neck is not a lifestyle complaint — it is a **measurable biomechanical injury**. Every 2.5 cm of anterior head translation adds roughly **4.5 kg** of resultant load to the cervical extensors (Hansraj 2014, Surg Technol Int). Sustained across an 8-hour Whitefield or Bannerghatta Road WFH day, this drives disc dehydration at C5-C6 and C6-C7, upper-trapezius trigger points, suboccipital tension headaches and — in 12–18 months — full cervical radiculopathy.
The forearm story is similar. The 2020 European Working Conditions Survey found that IT workers who mouse >6 hrs/day are **3.4× more likely** to develop lateral epicondylitis, De Quervain's or CTS-like ulnar-median compression. Static shoulder abduction on trackpads compounds the load. Our clinic treats 40+ IT professionals from Manyata, EPIP, Prestige Tech Park and Bagmane monthly.
Day-1 IT-Professional Clinical Assessment
The first session takes 60 minutes and includes: **cranio-vertebral angle** measurement (< 50° = clinical tech-neck), **cervical range-of-motion (goniometer)**, Spurling's test for radiculopathy, **upper-limb tension test (ULTT)** for median-radial-ulnar bias, and **grip dynamometer** for weakness > 10% side-to-side. We photograph the workstation with your permission and run a **rapid RULA / REACH ergonomic score**.
For confirmed cervical radiculopathy we score the **Neck Disability Index (NDI)** and, if pain > 6/10, request an MRI report from your treating physician. Every result is written into a signed report with ICD-10 codes (M54.12 radiculopathy, M77.10 epicondylitis, G56.0 CTS) — accepted by every major corporate insurer for reimbursement.
