Massage for Lockdown Blues: We think it’s safe to say this year has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Learning how to navigate a life in isolation and working from home has taken its toll on many of our physical and mental health. Some turn to baking to fill the time while others find daily walks to be therapeutic.
There has been a rise in mental health issues due to Covid and lockdowns. A study conducted before Christmas, during the 9th wave of coronavirus, revealed that 54% of UK adults felt anxious or worried in the past two week That number was higher for women at 63% and students at 66%. Another issue people are facing during the pandemic is the transition to remote work. 71% of people in the UK are now working from home and 51% of these remote workers are aware that their workspace is not correctly set up to support their posture. 23% have even admitted to mostly working from their kitchen table.
Poor posture can lead to several issues, including lower back pain, sore shoulders, aching hands, hip discomfort, and stiff necks. Common mistakes people make while working from home include setting chairs too low, positioning monitors incorrectly, or bending forward over laptops.
