Spine health is especially important now, as the pandemic-induced work-from-home arrangement has led to many people being at their desk for longer hours than they used to in their office. The new development means people are putting their back through a lot more stress, often without adequate breaks, which could subsequently hamper the spine.
Risks to spine health are not restricted only to the office crowd who spend their time at their laptops and PCs. They also exist for the young as well as older adults, who have been sucked into the digital age and do not realise the strain they are putting on their spines while checking social media or watching movies.
