Work-From-Home Ergonomics

Working from makeshift setups like a bed, sofa, or dining table often lacks proper back and neck support, leading to gradual aches. Physiotherapy-guided home workstation habits help protect your body during remote work.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Set up a dedicated chair and desk instead of working from bed or sofa
  • Support your lower back with a cushion or rolled towel
  • Change position and move around between video calls
  • Keep frequently used items within easy reach to avoid twisting

Don'ts

  • Don't work for long hours lying down or slouched on a sofa
  • Don't balance a laptop on your lap for extended periods
  • Don't skip breaks just because you're working from home
  • Don't ignore posture just because no one is watching

When to see a physiotherapist: If home-working posture leads to ongoing pain or stiffness that doesn't improve with adjustments, consult a physiotherapist for a personalized ergonomic assessment.
