Corona period has changed everyone’s life and lifestyle has also changed. As soon as the lockdown happened, everyone’s offices and schools started online. People have also got used to online and people have also become comfortable in it. However, there is one thing that is getting worse. That is the position of the body. The posture of the body is getting worse due to working online. The posture of the body is also bad by working on the bed. The problems of neck and back pain are increasing. No one new to this work from home setup now but one has to try to deal with the pain of long working hours.
Now is also the best time to invest in the right kind of furniture. Be it a study table, office chair or a foldable laptop table. Give yourself the most comfortable working environment so that working from home does not affect your mental and physical health.
Here are some tips to improve body position:
Get a chair with adjustable armrests
Your elbows and wrists should be at 90 degrees from the body. Having adjustable armrests will help you sit in a comfortable position without straining your arms.
keep laptop high
Your screen should be just below your eye level so that you do not have to bend or lift your neck to view the screen. You can keep some books under your laptop to achieve the right height.
change positions frequently
Keep getting up, keep going and keep changing your positions. Do not sit in the same position throughout the day, otherwise it can lead to stiffness and pain in the neck.
get an ergonomic chair
An ergonomic chair has armrests, levers to change height, and a long back for the waist.
Use a hands-free device while you talk
Holding your phone by your shoulder while typing will hurt your neck. To avoid neck pain, use earphones to take calls or put the phone on speaker at work while receiving calls.
