Best Posture For Sitting At A Desk

On April 3, 2020

While we are all at home it seems a good time to remind everyone about the best posture for sitting at a desk. Working at a laptop or tablet is particularly posture-hazardous! A few simple changes can make the difference between being able to sit comfortably and being in pain. Hidden Edinburgh has a post with my top tips for good posture. Check out the Hidden Edinburgh website for people, places, events and all things that are great about Edinburgh.

At the moment we are offering video consultations and phone chats if you need any help. We can assess what is wrong through discussion and seeing where you are experiencing symptoms, give you advice and exercises and general reassurance. Still here to help!

recommendsI first discovered Mary after a car accident for which I needed treatment for whiplash. I found Mary to be very... personable and understanding to my condition. Mary's techniques are very gentle but effective, prior to Osteopathy I have had Chiropractic treatment for neck and lower back pain but was not really comfortable with the cracking techniques.
After my initial treatments for whiplash I decided to carry on treatment with Mary for my lower back pain especially as Mary as part of (The Two Mary's) treated my horse for Osteoarthritis with great success. It was really useful that Mary knew both mine and the horses backgrounds so she was able to treat both of us sympathetically to bring out the best in both of us.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mary for any pain or other health related conditions for which Osteopathy can be of great benefit.

Good luck Mary in your new venture you shall be missed but at least you have left the other Mary to take care of us all!!read more

recommendsMary has been treating my family for almost 10 years and is greatly missed now that she is in Edinburgh. Edinburgh all... I can say is you are very lucky people. During my landscaping career Mary has fixed, repaired, healed me even and kept a much needed back and body working through the toughest of times. Highly recommended ✨💫👏👏👏read more

recommendsMary is not only the most caring person but she is very knowledgeable and worked on myself with my shoulder with just a... couple of treatments and I was as right as rain. Mary also worked with my late husband and gave him great relief with his legs. We were both extremely grateful for all her help. I would highly recommend her.read more

recommendsI first visited Mary in 2006 with my then 6 year old daughter, who was struggling with nervous tics. 14 years later,... and she has also sorted out my recurrent headaches, and my parents, my sister, her sons and numerous other friends and colleagues have benefitted from her, literally, magic touch. Indeed, she is known in our house as Magic Mary! We are all devastated that she is moving - but I am considering an annual pilgrimage to Edinburgh for my MOT!read more

recommendsI have been seeing Mary Monro over the last 15 years for all sorts of aches and pains. She is tremendously... knowledgeable and her treatment is extremely gentle and very effective. She has a lovely, calm personality and I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending her as an osteopath.

I wish her all the very best for her relocation to Edinburgh, although very sorry to be losing her from down south!read more

recommendsI have known Mary since the children were babies. She has seen both of the for at least 15 years and each time they had... an injury or were going through growth pains Mary was there to see them with her calm and assured professional care. Her knowledge runs deep and her abilities are extraordinary. I trust her to take care of the children and occasionally my husband and I have had sessions too. Each time our aches and pains would go after only 1 or 2 appointments. Highly recommended.read more

recommendsI had a chronic back condition that had been bothering me for several months if not years. Other treatments had only... given temporary relief. I was recommended to Mary from a friend - I'm so glad they did.

Mary's diagnosis was spot on and the treatment both gentle, relaxing and effective. Within 3 treatments my back was almost back to full strength and with 6 weekly MOTs my back has not bothered me since.

I always go to Mary when I have an injury as I know she will find the root cause and put me back together again. She is professional, straight forward and insightful.

I highly recommend her if you have a long term condition or injury that you want to have relief from.read more
