Experiencing more neck pain episodes since you started working from home
There are several reasons why working from home may be causing or aggravating your neck pain.
1. Poor ergonomic setup of your work station at home. Many people are simply working from home sitting at their dinning table or sitting on their sofa or in bed using a laptop. Spending hours looking down on a laptop screen can lead to neck pain.
2. Lack of clear definition of work and rest breaks when working from home. Many people find themselves sitting at their laptops for longer hours before they stop to have lunch and many simply have a cup of coffee while working at their laptops. This results in increased muscle strain on your neck and shoulders.
3. Juggling home duties while working from home. It is not uncommon to hear of people attending work meetings from their laptops in their cars while they are waiting for their children at tutoring or partners at a medical appointment. Some people are now working late into the might as they had to care for their children in the day.
