Does your chair affect your back pain?

Back pain can arise from sitting in an improper position for too long, a very common complaint among people who work from home (previously office workers).
Could the type of chair make things worse? When we carry out repetitive tasks, such as writing or typing, we often adopt a hunched posture without realizing it. It is very likely that this situation is contributing to your back pain. If you also do not use an ergonomic chair, the ailments and discomforts in your body are aggravated. In the current context, it is time to ask ourselves, is the configuration of your home office contributing to back injuries? For many people, the space designated as a “home office” is causing physical discomfort. If this situation continues over time, there is a high probability that it will lead to more serious injuries.

To avoid this, it is important to take a series of measures that will help you reduce your back pain, especially when working from home. One of the most effective measures is to “stay active” while working, that is, change your posture from time to time and avoid sitting for long periods. To do this, it is ideal to get up from your chair periodically and stretch your legs and even walk around the hallway or room to improve circulation in your legs:

If you use a traditional ergonomic chair, you should ensure that your posture is correct. Here are some tips to improve your posture:

• Place your elbows bent at a 90 degree angle
• Put your feet on the floor. To do this, adjust the height of your chair and, if necessary, use an ergonomic footrest .
• Make sure your knees and hips are at a 90 degree angle.
• Rest your butt against the back of the chair
• Place your eyes in the center of the screen

Remember, most back pain can be prevented at home, if you know how to remedy it. If you know how to take care of your back, you can greatly reduce your risk of back pain. This involves exercising regularly, using a good ergonomic chair, and maintaining good posture.
