According to Mirriam-Webster,ergonomics is “an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely.” OSHA states that “effective and successful "fits" assure high productivity, avoidance of illness and injury risks, and increased satisfaction among the workforce.” Think about how you spend your day. In front of a computer? Hunched over your smartphone? The hours you spend in a given position are training and conditioning your muscles to hold that position. For example, if you are at a computer with a mouse on a desk in front of you, you are probably reaching forward to use it,k eeping your shoulder up and forward. Typing on your laptop or smartphone can leave you hunched over with stiff, painful neck and shoulders. Massage can help relax overly tight muscles and restore good posture. But equally important is the posture you use every day. I offer tips to improve good posture to many of my clients. On the web can find great resources on ergonomics for drivers,computer users, even hairdressers. These tips focus on keeping your body in a “neutral position” – including head upright, shoulders in line with your ears, and your elbows at 90 degrees when seated.
