what is ergonomics?
Ergonomics is a fancy, over used word for optimal comfort. At Performance Posture, we refer to ‘ergonomics’ or optimal comfort and neutral alignment as it relates to an individuals working environment. That typically is someone’s desk or workstation that they sit at most of their day. Successful office ergonomics interventions typically involve augmenting personal control of work components and training on equipment, healthy working postures, and technique.
Performance Posture has two optimal ergonomic workstations set up in the reception area for education and assessment purposes. Each health practitioner is educated in the biomechanics of the human body and they are highly qualified to discuss good posture and alignment in a seated working position vs. incorrect posture or possibly harmful positioning.
