People might be feeling comfortable sitting on sofas but most of them are not aware of their posture while working. People might be suffering through neck, back pain due to the same. Faulty posture while working may lead the person to future musculoskeletal postural adaptations. The home environment is likely to be faulty in many aspects in comparison to the workplace. In particular, the absence of ergonomic office furniture at home may impede the adoption of healthy posture and may promote the onset of musculoskeletal disorders.
