ERGONOMICS

Optimize productivity and well-being in and out of the office 

It starts with a nagging ache, or fatigue at the end of the day. You think it will go away, but it doesn't. You turn to Dr. Google for a diagnosis and treatment, and then comb the reviews of ergonomic equipment. You make a purchase and open the box with the anticipation of relief from your pain. Except, it doesn't. Your body is different from all the reviewers. And you are still in pain. This is the prevailing theme for most of my clients, adding to the graveyard of ergonomic castoffs.

 

Ergonomics is about more than an ergonomic piece of equipment. It takes customization and the integration of knowledge, posture, and movement for the people using it. When you feel your best, you are efficient, creative and decisive compared to the distractions of pain or stress. 

 

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we carefully calibrate to each individual by looking through the lens of their specific experience—physically, mentally and emotionally, combined with their work flow—and match the workstation to those needs. We educate in sound technique and behavioral habits to promote well-being both in and out of the "office".

 

We also train employees and teams on body mechanics to empower healthy work habits that optimize productivity and well-being.
