With work from home becoming the new normal amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have started complaining of neck pain and backache while working for long hours and are seeking help from physiotherapists.
Health experts say this is
due to improper sitting postures and people need to follow good ergonomics and working
habits at home.
Employees of several
corporate firms and industrial bodies have been working from home for nearly
six months now since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country.
"Initially, work
from home system brought cheers among employees. But, due to long working
hours and improper sitting postures, many have started complaining of neck
pain, backache and other issues," Dr Apurv Shimpi, head of the community
physiotherapy department in Pune's Sancheti Hospital told PTI.
He said the National Institute
of Personnel Management's (NIPM) Pune Chapter, a body of HR professionals here
in Maharashtra, approached the hospital to conduct physiotherapy sessions for
their associate members.
