They can also give the option of working while standing.” “It may mean using a separate mouse and keyboard too so that these are at the level of the desk for your hands, arms and shoulders to be in a comfortable position. “A laptop stand or riser can bring the height of the screen more to eye level so you can maintain better neck posture,” Keel says. These can prevent you from looking down at the screen for lengthy periods, which can be tiring and painful for neck muscles. Working from home in a safe and comfortable posture is possible, but those using laptops, which were originally designed only for short-term work, should consider adding a laptop stand or riser to their home office. “As a chiropractor working in London, many of my clients who usually commute into the City have been working at home in recent months, and I have seen many more coming in during the last two years with back, neck and headache issues associated with their work-at-home posture and practices,” he says. His clinic has seen the impact of poor working from home setups since the Covid pandemic.
