Since lockdown restrictions were enforced in March, many of us have been working from home.
While some people were prepared for life working at home – they had, for example, a desk and suitable chair – others have had to settle in other nooks and crannies, taking up residence on sofas and even beds. After three months, there are concerns that unfit work environments are now taking a toll on the nation’s necks, backs and wrists.
Even if you don’t have the space or finances to set up a specific area of your home as a dedicated workspace, there are a number of tips you can follow to ensure you reduce the risk of developing unwelcome aches and pains.
The guide below includes advice on setting up your work area, as well as staying active and keeping hydrated.
Take breaks and move
Please make sure you are regularly getting up from your position to move. Move as regularly as possible. This means getting up from your chair every 45 to 60 minutes. Set an alarm on your phone to distract you. Get up and change positions.
Keep hydrated
Aim to drink 2 litres of water per day. We recommend regular sips of water throughout the day even when you are not thirsty.
Sleep
Avoid screen time 1-2 hours before going to bed to ensure a restful sleep.
Exercising
You should continue to undertake regular exercise especially as you are no longer commuting to work. Take time out to cycle, run, walk or try exercising at home doing things like yoga and Pilates.
