Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disorders of muscles, tendons, joints and nerves which can affect all body parts, although the neck, upper limb and back are the most common areas.

The peer-reviewed literature about workplace prevention describes a variety of interventions that have been implemented and evaluated.but only few studies show sustainable positive effects on symptom outcomes.

Yoga@Work program was developed to self manage pain around neck and shoulder areas among office workers.
