Concern over increase in injuries among those working from home Reporter: '); '); A leading physiotherapist has highlighted the worrying increase in the number of patients presenting with injuries as a result of working from home. Camilla Reilly, physiotherapy manager of the Hermitage Medical Clinic, says she is seeing a definite upswing in the number of people who are suffering from issues like back and neck problems, nerve pain, stiffness, headaches and other symptoms associated with working from home without proper equipment or advice. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, many workers have been forced to leave the office for most of the past year with over a third of the population working remotely from home, according to CSO figures.
