Ergonomics is not just about products, but also about the design of services or processes so you can be more comfortable and efficient to get things done.
People who work at computers or sit at a desk most of the day are particularly at risk for overuse injuries. Having your desk and chair adjusted specifically for the user is extremely important, as well as the computer and keyboard placement. Think about the strain on your neck, shoulders and arms when you are forcing your body to work in a position that will put unnecessary strain in those areas over time. Often an improp
erly set up work station can lead to poor posture. Poor posture can eventually lead to neck and back pain, carpal tunnel, or a number of other health issues related to poor posture.

Looking at how someone uses their work station can also be beneficial. When you do something repetitively it can cause overuse issues and put a lot of strain on your body. Tweaking how you perform a task can help improve your station but also minimize overuse injuries.
Did you know that most neck pain that is not caused by whiplash or other trauma is likely caused from poor posture?
It might be worth having someone come in to do an ergonomic assessment. We would be happy to come out and do this in your workplace if you’d like.
Good News, proper ergonomics can ensure you are pain-free at work
Once you have an idea of how to better set up your work station, you might need to buy a few items to assist in making the station ergonomically safe.
What should you be looking for in a product?
- Comfort – How the product feels while using it is important. If you do not like how it feels, you won’t use it.
- Quality – You should have confidence in a product working as it is designed to. If a product is flimsy and cheap looking/feeling, you will likely not use it or it will break.
- Simplicity – If a product is relatively simple to use, you’ll likely use it. If it is too complicated or time consuming, likely you will not use it.
When you properly have your workplace assessed and redesigned ergonomically, the results should be less fatigue and discomfort. Can you imagine an office where all the work stations were set up ergonomically and used properly. The workplace should have increased productivity and workers should feel less physical discomfort and less workplace health issues.
Finally, a proven solution for workplace related pain and discomfort.
