Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use for people and things to interact as efficiently and safely as possible.
There are five aspects of ergonomics: safety, comfort, ease of use, productivity and aesthetics. Based on these aspects of ergonomics, we can work with you to determine the best recommended practices for your work and home environment.
Posture
Posture is the attitude taken by the body either with support during the course of an activity, or as a result of the coordinated efforts by a group of muscles working to keep stability. There are two types:
- Dynamic posture is your position when you are moving, like walking, running, or bending over to pick up an item.
- Static posture is your position when you are not moving, like sitting, standing, or sleeping.
Posture is significant as a chief cause of chronic conditions like ongoing back and neck pain. You can greatly improve your well-being by being mindful of your posture during routine activities, like watching television, washing dishes, or walking.
Exercise
Fitness and Exercise Programs
Participating in regular physical activities has been proven to improve health for members of all age groups.
Our recommendation?
- Stay active. Any exercise can help improve your health, but certain types of exercises can be especially helpful. Yoga, tai chi, and other classes that focuses on body awareness are especially helpful. It is also a good idea to do exercises that strengthen your core.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Extra weight can weaken your abdominal muscles, cause problems for your pelvis and spine, and eventually, contribute to low back pain.
- Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes. High heels can throw off balance and force you to walk differently. This puts additional stress on your muscles and can harm posture.
- Make sure work and play areas are at a comfortable height for you, whether sitting in front of a computer, making dinner, or eating a meal.
