Protecting Your Body While Working from Home

When we all first started this COVID-19 closure thing, it’s definitely true that some of us were better prepared for working from home than others. Now that we’re a couple of months into self-quarantine and sheltering in place, even with many businesses beginning to open up for curbside service, many of us continue to work from home.

Below, Espinosa Family Chiropractic goes over a few ways to trick out your home workspace and give yourself the self-care you need to set your body up for health and success during this time.

Office furniture can be notoriously uncomfortable, so it’s a good idea to invest in ergonomic office accessories, products like standing/elevating desk or elevating desk converter kits that help you switch up the monotony of sitting around in a chair all day.

Investing in a chair that gives you proper neck and back support is a good idea, and alternating between using that and an exercise ball chair will help you support your back while activating your core throughout the workday.

Building a yoga and a meditation practice will also help you fortify your body and mind against the pressures you put on them throughout the workweek. They’re a great one-two punch for stress and tension.
