Left untreated, it can lead to chronic issues, reducing your ability to perform both professionally and personally. ?? Common Culprits: - Prolonged Sitting: Extended periods of sitting can weaken muscles and put a strain on your spine. - Poor Ergonomics: Inadequate chair support, improper desk height, and poorly positioned computer screens can all contribute to bad posture. - Repetitive Movements: Tasks that require repetitive motions can strain your back muscles. ?? Steps to Address Back Pain: 1. Ergonomic Workspace: Ensure your chair, desk, and computer setup support good posture. 2. Regular Breaks: Take short breaks to stand, stretch, and move around every hour. 3. Exercise: Incorporate exercises that strengthen your back and core muscles. 4.

In our increasingly digital world, many of us spend hours in front of screens, which can lead to discomfort and long-term health issues.

Set Up Your Workspace: Use an ergonomic chair, keep your monitor at eye level, and ensure your desk is at the right height. 2. Practice Proper Sitting Habits: Sit back in your chair, keep your spine neutral, and keep your feet flat on the floor. 3. Take Breaks and Move: Stand up and stretch every 20-30 minutes, incorporate stretches for your neck and back, and follow the 20-20-20 rule for eye breaks. 4. Strengthen Your Muscles: Focus on core and upper back exercises to support your spine and improve posture.

Musculoskeletal disorders made up 32% of work-related ill health cases and resulted in 7.8 million lost working days in 2023/24. Quite often MSD are caused or exacerbated by poor desk posture. While you might not notice it at first, over time your back, neck and limbs begin to feel the strain. This is especially important to consider when working from home, where you may not have an ergonomic desk setup. So what can we do to create better workspaces at home? ? Adjust your chair: ensure your feet are flat on the floor, thighs are parallel to the ground and knees are at a 90° angle. This supports proper posture and reduces back strain. ? Position your monitor correctly: the top of the screen should be at eye level, about an arm’s length away, to prevent neck strain and eye fatigue. ? Keyboard and mouse placement: keep them close to your body, allowing your arms to relax with elbows at about 90°. Avoid overreaching! ? Take breaks: stand, stretch or take short walks every 30-60 minutes. Regular movement keeps your muscles relaxed and mind focused. ? Find the best tools: consider getting ergonomic accessories like lumbar cushions, adjustable desks or wrist supports to improve comfort and alignment. Small changes can make a big difference!
