- A Supportive Chair: It needs to be adjustable in height, with no armrest, and support your spine and its curves
- A Headset: Using a headset instead of holding a phone helps reduce neck stress
- An Adjustable Desk (Sit-To-Stand): Investing in an adjustable desk will help you position your monitor and or laptop in a place where it won’t cause strain to your neck, shoulders and back or have you hunching over.
- A Foot Rest: This will help alleviate pain and stiffness on the knees and help with your posture if your feet can’t touch the floor.
- Ergonomic Split Keyboard And Mouse: This type of keyboard will allow your hands to rest in a neutral position. The right mouse will allow your hands to be in a more comfortable position rather than just laying flat which can cause discomfort over time.

Pain Getting To You? Here’s How To Fix That
If you are working from home and suffering from back pain already, then try taking a small break every 20-30 minutes, walking around your home, and doing some stretches.
Monitor your stress levels, sometimes if things become too much, it’s okay to walk away from the screen. Make sure to stop for snacks and lunch. It’s easy to forget to feed yourself when you’re busy. Food helps with inflammation and gives you an energy boost.
Working from home is a great experience, but make sure to make it a comfortable one as well.
