Working from home has its perks, no commute, more flexibility, but it also brings risks to your spinal health. Without the right setup and habits, desk jobs often lead to neck stiffness, lower back pain, and posture issues. Here’s how to protect your spine during long workdays.
The Risks of Sitting All Day
Extended sitting compresses spinal discs, weakens core muscles, and increases pressure on the cervical and lumbar regions. Over months, it can cause chronic pain and misalignment.
1. Optimize Your Workstation Setup
-
Place your monitor so that the top third of the screen is at eye level.
-
Use an external keyboard and mouse to avoid hunching.
-
Keep your chair height so your knees are about 90°.
-
Use lumbar support or a small pillow behind your lower back.
2. Take Micro-Breaks & Move Regularly
Follow the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, look away from the screen for 20 seconds. Every hour, stand or walk for 1–2 minutes. Incorporate simple stretches for neck, shoulders, and spine.
3. Strengthen Your Core & Back Muscles
Exercises like planks, bridges, and thoracic mobility drills help stabilize your spine and reduce strain on passive structures.
4. End-of-Day Recovery Routine
After a long day, use the Axiswell Home Pro Massager for 10–15 minutes. Its vibration, heat, and gentle traction help relax stiff muscles, improve circulation, and ease tension. AxisWell Pair with light stretching or a warm shower for deeper relief.
