All day we spend countless hours in a work environment where you and other professionals spend a good  portion of the day seated at at a desk computer workstation of some sort. The importance of ergonomics cannot be unseen once you see it! Ergonomics the science of designing workplaces so that they fit the needs of individual workers. The science plays a role in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) as well as repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) while keeping their workers productive, comfortable, and safe. Professional ergonomic trainers also called ergonomists in the East Bay specialize in conducting thorough workstation assessments. These ergonomic assessments are meant to record all of the key adjustments and factors such as keyboard and chair heights and what is done to optimize the placement of each feature. By optimizing the "fit" of the workstation it is possible to minimize the risk of cumulative related injuries (overuse injuries) such as carpal tunnel syndrome or lateral epicondylitis that can result from poor posture, unideal body mechanics, and improper computer workstation setup. Key Benefits of Workstation Assessments:

1. Ergonomic Injury Prevention: Ergonomic evaluations will reduce the risk of MSDs and RSIs.
2. Increase Employee Comfort: Well adjusted workstations improve posture and improve body mechanics.
3. Proper Fit: Trainers help adjust and tailor a workstation to the individual needs based on their activity and habits ensuring the best mechanics and posture based on body segments, stature, and size.
4. Cost Savings: Investing in ergonomics reduces absenteeism, lowers healthcare costs, and enhances employee satisfaction.
