What is Ergonomics?
Ergonomics is setting up the workstation to fit you. The oxford dictionary states it is “the study of people’s efficiency in their working environment”. People that are 5’2” has a different setup than someone that is 6’2”. Below is a video discussing Ergonomics. I provide virtual and in-person posture evaluations at your workstation, lunch and learns, and office presentations within your office. See below my services to you.
Why should you get a posture evaluation while working on your computer in your office?
