We are three years into the “hybrid work” revolution, and the physical toll is coming due. Physical therapists are reporting a massive spike in patients seeking treatment for neck, shoulder, and lower back pain. The common denominator? Their home office. Most people are still working from setups that were meant to be temporary. That dining chair or soft couch might feel comfortable for an hour, but over months, it is slowly reshaping your spine and shortening your muscles. You aren’t just working; you are actively injuring yourself.
