Work-related disorders are multifactorial. Known risk factors included personal attributes, working posture, repetitive movements, and workstation design. One study showed that somatic and depressive symptoms were associated with lateral epicondylitis and wrist tendinitis. Furthermore, the presence of depressive symptoms predicted the first occurrence of lateral epicondylitis.

Subjects who expressed widespread somatic symptoms also reported more pain attributed to their jobs. Pain experienced by individuals could be the feature of a somatisation process. Psychological symptoms were often characteristic of patients with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Studies have shown that mental stress could induce muscle tension and could contribute to the development of work-related upper extremity disorders. High job demands appeared to confer the strongest work-related psychosocial risk.

One way to reduce work related disorders is Somatic Therapy. Somatic Therapy can help:
• anxiety
• depression
• relationship issues
• chronic fatigue
• residual effects of accidents
• post traumatic stress disorder
• and much more

It quoted from San Diego Therapist. This is body-mind therapy, where the primary focus is on your body, and on your relationship to how your mind and emotions show up in your body, and how you can affect your body through thought, feelings, actions, etc. Body therapy brings in an awareness of how the physical body can affect the emotions and the mind, and vice versa. The affects of the physical on our experience of life is only just beginning to be understood in the world, and body therapy is at the cutting edge with the new breakthroughs in healing that it offers.
