3 WORK-FROM-HOME POSTURE HACKS TO SAVE YOUR BACK

5/12/2020

Sitting for extended periods of time at our desk, or worse on the couch with a laptop, can wreak havoc on our back and neck. Poor posture when sitting looks and feels like this: shoulders hunched up toward our ears, head dropped forward to look at our phone, exaggerated forward curve in our upper back as we lean over our laptop, and a lack of core support and stabilization for our low back as we slouch in our chair. Couple this with the general feeling of low energy and fatigue that accompanies poor posture and the workday feels pretty grim. 

Taking time to counter this posture with simple movements we can do right at our desk can give us instant relief—soothing aches and pains, improving our mood, decreasing our stress level, and yielding an immediate energy boost. These short breaks throughout our day will save us time addressing postural injuries in the future and make us feel more energized, productive, and creative as we work.
