Neutral posture is an important component in the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries at work, at home, and during leisure and sport activities. Neutral is the position where joints and ligaments have the least amount of strain, muscles are balanced and working together, and blood flow and nerve conduction are optimal. Biomechanics refers to the mechanical forces at work within and acting on the human body. With a focus on biomechanics and neutral posture we are able to help employees understand the importance of positioning and posture on their ability to work more productively, more comfortably and with far less risk of injury.
Results
The result of our work at ErgoWest is that employees understand how posture, both good and bad, can impact their ability to work, play, rest, and spend time with loved ones. We get best practices implemented, reducing injuries, lowering costs and improving productivity.
