3 Tips for Home Workers to Avoid Back Pain

Working from home increases the risk of developing back pain due to reduced mobility.

D.A.

The German Society of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery has warned that housework increases the risk of back pain due to lack of mobility.

The association added that office workers, who work for eight hours a day, must engage in movement activities at a rate of five hours per week, to maintain a healthy back.

Here are three tips for maintaining a healthy back while working from home.

1

Movement activities can be combined during work and daily life, as the sitting position should be changed from time to time, as well as making phone calls standing, with regular stretching and stretching exercises to avoid muscle strain.

2

It is also useful to walk even for short distances, such as going shopping, taking the child to school on foot, or walking around the house and climbing stairs instead of using the elevator.

3

Ventilating the home office well is essential, by regularly opening the windows wide for a short period of time.
