Work from is great for several reasons. You have work that can be done at the comfort of your home. Everything can be arranged as per your style and comfort. But, it may also come with inevitable, and even chronic back pain. Yes, unless your work desk is proper, and your screen is placed at the level of your eyes, you may end up stopping way too much. This, and sitting at one place for long periods of time can also be the cause of serious back pain.
