Work – it’s where we spend eight hours or more hunched over our computers and desks. And with more people working from home during the pandemic, we’re even sitting on the floor, on our beds, and anywhere around the house to work. In this webinar, we look at the aches, pains, and injuries that can develop, and what you can do to change things at your workplace (or at home).

This is an edited recording of the 3rd BFM Health & Living 2021 webinar* – this webinar series is presented by AIA, enabling Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
