11 Posture Fixes for the Indian Work-From-Home Generation

11. Support your feet and choose better footwear at home

Foot position affects the whole spine. If your feet dangle or your knees are much higher than your hips, your pelvis tips and your lower back bears extra stress. Use a small footrest or a sturdy shoe box so your feet sit flat on a surface. Wearing soft, slip-on footwear or going barefoot on a cushioned mat can feel better than thin slippers that offer no arch support. If your floor is cold tile, place a small rug where your feet rest to make standing breaks more comfortable. Good foot support helps keep your knees and hips aligned and supports a healthier spine during long work sessions.
