The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of changes in the lives of all of us. The biggest change is that most of the jobs and professionals in the country, who are working from home, are working from home. This concept of work from home has been accepted by the whole world. The world has never seen such a big exercise in the corporate sector. And the benefits are many.
Firstly you don't need to waste hours every day from home to office and from office to home. You can spend more time with your family and kids. You can do your favorite activity in your free time. Most importantly, now no co-worker or senior can take credit for your work.
Corporates have also learned from so many months of experience that work-to-work arrangement is beneficial for them as well as the employees. Employee productivity and efficiency have improved in most cases. Companies will now be able to save on huge office rent and other administrative costs.
But more and more companies and employees are adopting work from home system. A negative side has also emerged. Neck, shoulder, back and leg pain complaints are increasing among people doing work from home. What could be the reasons for the increase of such diseases?
Everyone has to make office space in their own home for work. Therefore, some changes in the house are proving to be harmful. For example, some people work while in bed. Some people use it as a desk to organize books by line. Low back dining chairs are being used as office chairs.
This thoughtless system has a detrimental effect on the correct body posture of people and reduces the work efficiency of many people. Very few people know that office furniture has been researched for today's white-collar work. In this, full care is taken that the posture of the body is not spoiled.
Just as a shoe size that doesn't fit your foot can cause discomfort to your foot, a homemade workbench can also cause neck and back pain. If left unmanaged, they can go astray and lose the correct route.
Persistent neck and back pain can be a major problem in life. Even before the lockdown, Jobs had to take a long leave from office due to illness. If not treated properly, about 2% of people can develop cervical spondylitis (spine pain) in a single year. Of course, those who work from the beginning need not panic. You can keep your neck, back, and waist healthy and safe by making some changes in the workspace set up at home.
Here's a straightforward solution:
1) First of all sit-down and stop working. Working while standing is good for health. An adult sits an average of nine hours a day. Sitting for such a long time increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease by 10 to 20 percent. Also, by standing during work, you get the benefit of the workout. It not only burns the extra calories in your body but also reduces the stress on your spine. Avoid working while leaning over and using an overly high or low table. This can cause pain in the muscles and joints. Even if you work from home, wear comfortable and supportive shoes.
2) Keep kicking while talking on mobile at home. It is beneficial for you to walk a few steps instead of sitting or standing.
3) Be careful in choosing the chair. Choose a chair that supports and relaxes your lower back and buttocks. There is a danger of lying on a bed or couch, even if that seems comfortable to you. Watching or typing on a sleeping laptop is harmful to your body. Especially since your 15-minute video call can last up to 1 hour. Leaning forward too much also causes back pain. Also, avoid touching each other while sitting.
3) Sit at home and work in a place where there is natural light or there is enough light from the light. This will put less pressure on your neck and eyes.
