Pourquoi télétravail et posture ne font pas toujours bon ménage?

The arrival of COVID-19 has profoundly changed our habits, especially with the huge introduction of working from home. Unfortunately, spending a lengthy amount of time in front of a screen can have negative consequences: muscle pain and stiffness, reduced motivation, reduced energy level, etc. Here are some tips to get you better!

A little theory: postural control & sitting posture

The ability to maintain a sitting posture for a long time is provided by postural control and the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (abdominal and back, among others). If you have weakness in these muscles, you will have difficulty sitting for long periods. To compensate for this weakness, you may have a tendency to move around in your chair or change your position constantly. Surprisingly, it is easier to maintain a standing position than a seated one (take the test!), especially when there is weakness in postural control!
