Ergonomics & Work Environment

Ergonomics and Healthy Movement at Work- Proper ergonomics can ease job stress and prevent chronic injuries and disabilities. Additionally, sedentary behavior is the fourth leading risk factor of death for people all over the world. Exercise helps, but it doesn’t compensate for all the sitting we do. Research has found that a sedentary lifestyle is just as or more harmful than smoking, but we can impact this by incorporating frequent movement into our lives.

In this workshop, participants will:

Discuss the importance of proper ergonomics and frequent movement
Apply ergonomic tips to your work environment
Discuss ways to incorporate frequent movement into your day
Identify exercises you can do at your desk or workstation
Discuss the importance of good posture, the advantages it provides, and the consequences of developing bad posture

Overcoming Postural Issues & Exercise Form: Due to COVID-19 and our work in remote locations we are using technology more than ever. Web meetings have taken the place of in person meetings. Email and phone calls have replaced conversations. All of these changes can lead to poor posture and even injury if not addressed. Cell phone and computer usage can cause what has been termed “tech neck” by physical therapists and ergonomic challenges at home or in a car can cause posture imbalances. Adding exercise on top of these imbalances may cause more misalignment and lead to injury. In this webinar, you will learn exercise solutions to combat these issues and reminders for good form when exercising.
