This unprecedented time during the COVID-19 pandemic has many of you working from home…at the coffee table, the dining table, or the kitchen breakfast counter. And your ergonomics set up isn’t that which it is at work. Thank you to those who replied to our recent email survey asking about any challenges and pain with working from home. Many of you replied. And there’s an overwhelming “Yes…I hurt”.
Don’t let this get the best of you. A few adjustments go a long way in protecting you and minimizing strain and preventing repetitive use injury, posture-related problems, eye strain, and headache.

And if your pain is escalating and reducing work productivity, speak to your employer and let them know. This is a recordable incident and one which your employer’s workman’s compensation insurance should cover to get the help you need.
