Ergonomics and Posture

I want to talk about ergonomics and
posture. Ergonomics plays a big role on
how your body’s positioned and how it
works properly. Think about it. We spend
so much time sleeping at night. Is your
sleep position optimal? Okay. When your
neck and back are in the in a nice
neutral position, there’s less loading
and stress on the spine which will lead
to less problems later down the road.
The same is true with your job. Are you
lifting properly at your job? Are you
bending properly? If you have a
sedentary position like you drive for a
living or you sit in an office, is your
computer screen, your chair, your seat
in your car positioned properly? We
always want to make sure that we
minimize the amount of stress and strain
on your body so it can function better
because over time that stress and strain
in the body prevents it from working
properly and over time that creates
problems later down the road. If you
aren’t sure about how it should be
positioned, whether it’s your your
pillow, your bed, your chair, uh how to
lift properly at work or at the gym,
please give us a call, shoot us a
message, come on in for a consultation,
and we can advise you and make sure that
you’re doing everything properly for the
health of your spine.
