Office Syndrome Clinic - Ulfit Korean Medicine Clinic

Structural Collapse

It's not just simple fatigue,
it's a structural collapse

A body collapsing little by little every day

Turtle neck, TMJ distortion, rounded shoulders, pelvic imbalance. This pattern, repeated for 8 hours a day over several years, leads to chronic pain and decreased concentration.

The core of office worker pain lies not in the neck or shoulders, but in the alignment of the 'TMJ-Cervical 1 & 2'.

Symptom Checklist

Common pain patterns by body part
frequently seen in office workers.

Neck · Cervical Spine

Straight neck, stiff back of the neck. Accompanied by pain and headaches that worsen as the afternoon progresses.

TMJ (Jaw Joint)

Clicking sounds when opening the mouth, jaw shifting, and associated with unexplained headaches.

Shoulder · Scapula

Trapezius hypertension, rounded shoulders, and back tightness symptoms occur.

Lower Back · Pelvis

Lower back pain when sitting for long periods, tailbone pain, and pelvic imbalance due to the habit of crossing legs.

Wrist · Arm

Carpal tunnel pressure and arm numbness caused by prolonged keyboard/mouse use.

Ulfit Office Protocol

Treatment Protocol

A systematic correction roadmap
from structural analysis to functional recovery

Step 1

Structure Scan

We establish a personalized plan by precisely analyzing 12 items, including cervical subluxation, TMJ centric position, thoracic kyphosis, and pelvic tilt.

Step 2

TBT Alignment Correction

This is the core stage that most rapidly reduces primary neck and shoulder pain by correcting the TMJ axis and C1-C2 alignment.

Step 3

Deep Fascial Release

Mobility is restored by deeply releasing hardened soft tissues and fascia such as the SCM, trapezius, and quadratus lumborum.

Step 4

Functional Recovery Reset

Recurrence is prevented through breathing pattern retraining, shoulder stabilization exercises, and a desk worker home care routine.

Recommended for these people

Those whose headaches and neck/shoulder pain worsen in the afternoon

Those concerned about turtle neck and rounded shoulders

Those who feel pain again quickly even after physical therapy or massage

While there are individual differences, acute pain is usually relieved within 1-3 treatments, and 4-8 treatments are most common for structural stabilization. In cases of severe chronic posture imbalance, an additional maintenance period may be added.

Exercising when the structure is already misaligned can actually deepen the imbalance or worsen the pain. The correct order is to first secure the joint's range of motion through structural correction (TBT) and then combine it with exercise.

The TMJ directly affects the rotation axis of the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae. If the jaw becomes misaligned due to clenching or jaw-resting habits caused by stress, the neck becomes misaligned as a compensatory action, eventually leading to an imbalance of the shoulders and the entire spine.
