Physiotherapy Professionals Parramatta 12 Ada Street Harris Park NSW 2150: Work From Home Injury: Neck and Back Pain

Has your time spent working from your own home increased significantly since Covid?

Have you sustained a work from home injury: Neck and Back Pain? It could be from something as simple as incorrect ergonomics over a long period of time. We are seeing many patients at the clinic who have had an increase in neck and back pain since spending more time in an incorrect chair at an incorrectly setup desk and computer from their home during these lockdowns and restrictions.

Why is working from home causing neck and back pain?

Pre Covid, you were quite active, even though you didn’t think about it. You got up, showered, walked to the station, stood in the train, walked at work, got a coffee, walked over to your colleague’s desk.

These seemingly simple but very crucial things have stopped while you work from home. what has changed now since you’ve been working from home.

What’s actually causing the problem?

In many causes the main issue is that you’re sitting with poor posture due to:

Habits
Incorrect desk and workspace setup
Not knowing the actual correct ergonomic setup
Incorrect equipment (Gaming chairs vs. Ergonomic chairs)

OR the other issue could simply be that you’re staying seated for far too long. Even f you sit with PERFECT posture, it’s still important to get up and move every hour or so to change the position of your muscles and get the blood flowing.
