FIND YOUR WORKSPACE Proper Ergonomics For Your Office
WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
With many Americans working desk jobs or even working from home, it can be difficult to find a comfortable workspace. For the average American who works 8+ hours a day in front of a computer screen or at a desk, it is very important to create a space that helps you maintain good posture for long periods. Ensuring that the ergonomics in your office are functioning properly can help you avoid developing unwanted aches and pains from slouching or slumping at your desk. When working at your desk, ask yourself, “How do I maintain my posture throughout the day?” Do you catch yourself slouching frequently? Do those last couple hours of the workday leave you achy and ready to call it quits? If you are experiencing aches and pains, especially in your neck or back, poor posture is probably to blame. Fortunately, posture can be improved with some ergonomic changes. If you work at a desk all day, it is important to have a proper ergonomic setup. Make sure that you are at a proper height with your desk chair and computer, so you don’t have to slouch or lean forward. Additionally, make sure your chair has the proper lumbar support needed to help you sit straight while you’re working. These simple steps can help tremendously with your overall posture.
“I have worked with the Warner Robins office 3 times in the last year, most recently for bilateral knee replacements. I have really progressed and finished my therapy today. The office staff is very helpful and Drew and Christy are wonderful, they go out of the way to encourage me to make good progress. The office is small so I get great one on one attention and seeing the same person keeps you moving forward. Therapy is hard and the vibe is upbeat, fun, with a young energetic staff. I was also very happy with the care they have taken during the Covid-19 epidemic, I always felt very confident going to my appointments during this time. I am glad I chose this office and would recommend it to anyone who needs it.” — Susan Rynders
