What are the risks people have when they won’t work with personal accessories? Good posture at your desk is extremely important. It seems tempting to slump in your chair while working, but it is certainly not healthy. A bad work posture can cause quite annoying complaints. Do you have pain in your upper back, neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, or fingers? Then it could just be that these are RSI complaints.
Known complaints due to a bad working environment An office or home environment can cause a lot of complaints that are different from physical work. Working almost 100% indoors, largely in a seated position sitting at the computer, answering the phone, or writing, paves the way for some of the major complaints such as back and neck pain, eyestrain, hand, and hand pain. and wrist joints, to develop.
In addition, complaints can also arise because of factors such as poor ventilation, lighting, or air quality itself, which are factors that people are not immediately inclined to notice or think about.
As recent studies have recently shown, we generally also work longer than a few years ago. But if we continue to work longer and longer, then it has become a necessity that we pay more attention to how we can avoid these complaints.

RSI often occurs in professions where the same actions are often performed in succession. Some well-known examples are office workers, cashier, or assembly line workers. In the Netherlands, about 3.2 million people suffer from RSI complaints every year.
