EXPERT ADVICE

Catherine Quinn, President of the British Chiropractic Association, shares her tips on how to WFH

Essential adjustments

Take time to position your chair correctly. Your feet should be flat on the ground and your knees bent, but with a slope from your hips to your knees. Relax when sitting into your chair, making sure you have your bottom against the seat back with your shoulder blades touching the backrest of the chair. Remove any obstacles from under your desk.

Get up!

Incorporating movement into your day is so important, but start small – take a 15-20 minute walk on your lunch break. It’s all about manageable, bitesize chunksfl

Mix it up

Try to mix up your position and consider a laptop stand that will allow you to work standing up. It’s fine to get creative – especially if you’re still working from home. Just make sure your screen is at eye level.

Find the light

Try to ensure you get enough daylight, particularly during the winter. Vitamin D is an essential part of maintaining well-being. Getting enough sunlight can help improve your sleep and mental health.
