Simple tips for home office health
After coming out of lockdown, we have noticed a lot of our practice members continuing to work from home. 🤓
Postural stress is a common complaint we are hearing, as people are working from their counter tops or dining room tables.
We have a few tips to help your not so ideal home setup to be as ergonomic as possible to ensure we are supporting your posture and spinal health while you work from home. 👍
Some common complaints we are hearing include:
Shoulder tension
Headaches
Eye strain
Tight upper back muscles
Neck pain
Tight hip flexors

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
