Key Takeaways
Why It Matters
1. Over 70% of IT professionals report posture-related pain, fatigue, or discomfort.
2. These health issues directly impact productivity, engagement, and long-term employee retention.
3. Without proactive care, musculoskeletal disorders can lead to chronic illness, absenteeism, and high attrition.
Modern tech jobs demand long hours at desks, often in non-ergonomic setups—whether at home or in the office. The result? A silent epidemic of back pain, neck strain, and repetitive stress injuries affecting thousands of employees across India’s booming IT hubs.
Left unaddressed, these issues escalate into chronic conditions that increase healthcare costs, employee turnover, and burnout. Investing in early detection, workplace ergonomics, and tele-physiotherapy isn’t just a health initiative—it’s a business necessity.
“I have suffered from neck and lower back pain for quite some time. I thought I could treat myself using exercises I found online. But that only made my situation worst. BJM Health’s Pathways finally helped me get my life back.”
