• Minimize or alleviate any pain you are currently experiencing

Proper ergonomic posture, whether sitting or standing, can help improve comfort, mood, energy and productivity throughout the day. Visit Components of a Healthy Workstation and Prevent Common Injuries to learn more about how to setup your workstation.

The Process:

An Ergonomic Evaluation is a 30- to 45-minute on-site evaluation performed by a Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist. The evaluation includes:

• A personal, on-site assessment of your current setup
• Recommendations how to improve your workstation and posture
• A list of tips and stretching exercises for reference
• A follow-up appointment (only if needed)
