Ergonomic Solutions

Work from home is leading to increased health issues. The challenges include:

■ Increased Headache: The remote working routine is leading to professionals experiencing increased headaches due to improper working posture and lack of a steady work routine.

■ Spike in Eye Strain: Looking at the computer screen for long periods of time is causing redness and watering of eyes excessively. This, in turn, leads to eyesight problems such as blurred or double vision.

■ Neck and Lumbar Pain: Mainly caused due to sitting with laptops on a bed or the absence of a proper back support while working. Sitting at the dining table or sofa causes slouching, this eventually puts strain on the neck and the lumbar section of the body, leading to neck and back pain. The solutions include:

■ Invest in an Ergonomic Chair: A good ergonomic chair will provide the back support that the lumbar needs in order to stay healthy through long hours of sitting. Along with a lumbar support, a chair and its arms will also come with height adjustability to help maintain ergonomic posture while seated and working on a laptop.

■ Get a Height Adjustable Table: A height adjustable work desk will allow standing and working whenever needed. By switching between sitting and standing work modes, one will ensure optimal mobility of limbs which will prevent any musculoskeletal disorders that may occur due to excessively static work posture. Incorporate Home Workouts in Routine: Every 30 minutes stand up and walk for a few minutes and make sure to do basic stretching moves in between the work routine.
