The establishment of a Work From Home policy that applies to workers in Surabaya during the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to an increase of Low Back Pain.

The results showed that 73 (51,8%) of respondents had a high level of LBP knowledge. There were 108 (76,6%) of respondents who had experienced shoulder or neck pain for several days and/or less than 4 weeks. It was found that more than 70 (50%) respondents have not done LBP prevention both pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Respondents have made several efforts to manage LBP both pharmacologically and nonpharmacologically, but 112 (79.4%) of respondents did not use office chairs.
