Introduction to the course topics:

Home office has now become part of everyday life.

In most cases, however, the working conditions in your own four walls are not designed for long-term use. The consequences: frequent neck tension, headaches and back pain. Unfortunately, we usually only recognize the body's warning signals for unhealthy behavior when they make our work almost impossible.

It doesn't have to be!
In this interactive workshop, you will learn tips and tricks to counteract postural problems and beat the corona blues at the same time.

movement at home
In order to get through the day free of tension and pain, one of the most effective key factors, in addition to ergonomics, is moving breaks. That's why it's important to get up from time to time at home and break the sitting marathon. Every standing up, every turn, every stretching and lateral bending of the torso helps. Specific back exercises are worth their weight in gold.
