Ergonomics & Posture
Introduction
People who live or work spending most of their time in a stationary position, seated or standing in front of a computer are more prone to poor posture. Not moving about for long periods of time can lead to misalignment of the spine and produce mechanical strain on the body’s structures manifesting in:
- Lower back, neck and nerve pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Wrist and forearm conditions
If you have any of these conditions, physiotherapy treatment is highly recommended as early as possible as a healing and preventative measure. Addressing the root cause of these issues such as postural and ergonomic adjustments will help assist recovery where it may otherwise lead to more serious conditions.
What is ergonomics?
Ergonomics describes the structures of your workplace and how you use them. Making ergonomic modifications; through the way you sit, stand or perform certain duties, will reduce the risk of injuries and have a highly beneficial impact on your long-term health.
