The work-from-home (WFH) phenomenon, which grew widespread during the COVID-19 epidemic, altered the way we used to do things. The tendency not only threw off many people’s work-life balance but also produced a tense climate in most families. As a result of the aforementioned conditions, health concerns — primarily linked to pains — emerged and have now become an endemic of huge proportions for WFH workers. Now that we are in a hybrid form of work, it is critical that we balance our health with both models.

Offices are designed and built to enable long-term work with assigned workstations; WFH is not. When you work from home, the first thing to go is your posture. While ergonomic chairs support your back at work, at home, many of us are stationed at our dining, beds, or study table-chair sets, neither of which supports your back and the tables are too high or low to work comfortably. 41.2 percent of home workers complain of low back pain, shoulder.  23.5 percent of home workers complain of neck pain as well. There are instances of headaches and dry eye also.  All of this adds up to a WFH breakdown.

The transition to WFH is concerning; around 19% of house workers reported persistent feelings of severe disconnectedness, which causes mental well-being to deteriorate. Furthermore, workloads have grown, resulting in regular bouts of worry, stress, and burnout.
