Correct Postures can prevent Back Pain: Many offices have now adopted 'Work from Home' due to COVID-19 lockdowns. People who sit in the office for hours are well versed by how much damage the body suffers while working continuously for 8 to 9 hours. Sitting in the same position for a long time often leads to back and leg pain. In such a situation, it is very important that we have the right seating posture while working.

We sit in a special chair while working in office, which does not cause back pain. However, while working at home, we sit in an ordinary chair, causing many people to complain about back pain. Work-from-home setups require Work Friendly chairs which provide the right lumbar support needed for comfort. While working at home, make sure that you do not sit on a plastic chair. You should instead use an ergonomic and flexible chair while working.

According to experts, flexible chairs help relax our brain by reducing body stress while working. The ergonomics chair helps relax our back by supporting us in sitting longer.

What is the right way to sit in a chair?

While working, you need to make sure that your back legs are always straight. Always sit with both your feet on the ground. It has been seen that while working, many people have this habit of raising their chair's height and hang their feet in the air. It is not right to do this at all. By doing this, there is more pressure on the waist bone which triggers more pain in the legs. Sitting in this position for a long time also has a very bad effect on the eyes. Therefore, while working from home, take special care that you do your work by sitting in the right position.
