Working from home is cool and all until your back starts to hurt. <\/strong>How can it not? You spend the whole day sitting on a chair (bed, couch…), in the same position all day. Yes, remote working is one of the most adopted safety measures from Covid-19<\/a>.<\/strong> In fact, many companies are implementing ”work from home” until further notice. Although most governmental restrictions are being elevated, remote working proved to be a great solution to many businesses. <\/strong>However, you must take additional care of your back while doing so. These are few tips we have prepared to help you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit Straight <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don’t sit on your couch when you have to work, and definitely not on your bed.<\/strong> The most important part is to get used to sitting straight<\/strong>. Fetch a desk<\/strong>, a chair<\/strong> and you can even use your dinner table.<\/strong> But the truth about back pain, is that accumulating bad postures can only make it worse on the long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjust Screen Height<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although it sounds like a given, adjusting screen hight properly is key<\/strong>. Actually, you shouldn’t be slouching to read the screen. Furthermore, putting too much pressure on both your lower and upper back leads to tremendous damage.<\/strong> So, before you start your work day, remember to have your screen at your chest height.<\/strong> If you use a laptop, then make sure to put it on a surface that coincides with the recommend height measures, in order to take care of your back while remote working.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretch <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

even if you have a lot of work to do, always take breaks to stretch.<\/strong> According to Harvard Healt<\/a>h<\/a> research,<\/a> stretching makes\u00a0muscles flexible, strong, and healthy. <\/strong>Of course, if you will be seated 8 hours everyday and 5 days a week, go ahead and do the math. Every 2-3 hours, try to stretch for 5 minutes<\/strong> before returning to your ”work posture”. Remember, sit straight! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect Your Shoulders and Wrists<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Protecting your shoulders is essential to take care of your back while remote working. How can you do that? Well, take your mouse home.<\/strong> Also, adapt your keyboard position so you don’t have to bend overtime you need to type. <\/strong>In addition, if start feeling soreness in your wrists from typing, do some ”wrist movements” <\/strong>to release the tension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
