5 Top Tips for Working from Home


Lockdowns and poor homeworking practices have led to a surge in muscle and joint problems. Try these top tips to improve your homeworking environment.


1. Move often and regularly


When you spend long hours at the desk, no posture is good if it is prolonged. Set an alarm to remind you to get up and move at least once every 30 minutes. For meetings up to an hour, turn off your camera for 5-10 minutes mid-way, whilst you stretch, stand or move!

2. Change posture


No posture is good if it is prolonged so it's important to change your working position frequently to change the stresses you put through your body. Using household objects like ironing boards or a high surface can be a perfect option.

3. Support your back


Fully supporting your lower back can help to reduce problems developing. Just roll a small towel or jumper into a cigar shape and put it just above your buttocks at the base of your back whilst you sit. For best effect, make sure you sit right at the back of the chair and drop your shoulders back and down.

4. Raise your screen


Try raising your screen using reams of paper or some sturdy books, until your eye level is 1/3 down from the top of your screen. Pair this with a separate keyboard and mouse to reduce neck and shoulder strain.

5. Support your body, support your feet


Place a ream of paper or sturdy book under your feet if your heels don’t touch the ground. This will help your back posture, improves circulation and reduces tension in your legs.
