. We're Here to Help
Many ergonomics classes begin and end with your equipment: screen filter,comfy chair and fancy keyboard. But your workplace well-being goes beyond your physical surroundings. At The Body at Work,we're interested in how you interact with your workspace. Learning to position and support your body for typing,reading and sitting will help you avoid the fatigue and strain that lead to injury. You'll also feel more alert and refreshed.
Our Philosophy
At The Body at Work,we teach movement ease and efficiency to optimize employee safety and productivity. We help people improve the way they use their bodies and their equipment at work. Repetitive Strain Injuries are preventable,and we specialize in practical ways to avoid injuries and help heal existing ones.
People are often taught that they must maintain an "ideal" posture that winds up feeling rigid and constrained. We believe healthy posture is fluid and we teach people how to move more freely,wh ile experiencing improved alignment and support. The result is a healthier,more energizing work experience.
Our On-Site Seminars
In our classes we discuss ergonomic equipment and practical ways to improve workstation setup,but we emphasize understanding and improving the way we use our bodies. Learning good usage of the body and equipment is a vital part of preventing and healing a repetitive strain injury and it is something we can practice in any situation.
