Ergonomic Training

Ready to Say Hello to Proper Posture?

Ergonomics Can Help Relieve Your Aches and Pains!

Did you know the items you use every day in your home or workplace can be modified to make you more comfortable? If you’re feeling uncomfortable, ergonomic training can help!

This is known as Ergonomics and is defined as the way in which we improve movement and function within daily life.

At Pure Physical Therapy & Pilates, our physical therapists can use ergonomics to help resolve issues with pain you may face in your daily life, in addition to helping you prevent injuries.

Ergonomics typically contains certain tools or body mechanic strategies that focus on maximizing efficiency and safety, in addition to identifying/changing factors that may lead to injury.

To learn more about ergonomics and how it can benefit you, call our McAllen, TX physical therapy office today at (956) 994-8880.

How will ergonomics benefit me?

The Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) states that companies in the United States spend at least $170 billion annually on occupational injuries.

By simply implementing certain health and safety systems – which includes ergonomics training, companies could reduce their injury and illness costs by as much as 40%.

These most common work-sustained injuries are typically caused by poor posture, excessive sedentary behavior, and improper workspace setup:

  • Back pain caused by injuries to the muscles, joints, or discs
  • Tension headaches
  • Medial or lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s or tennis elbow, respectively)
  • Tendonitis (inflammation in tendons)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (median nerve entrapment at the wrist)
  • Cervical strain and pain (including a new phenomenon called “text neck”)
  • Trigger finger
  • Rotator cuff strains and tears
  • TMJ dysfunction

Working on the ergonomics of your office can decrease your risk of sustaining these injuries, which can save a lot of money on medical bills, lost wages, and decreased productivity!

You can also implement ergonomics within your daily life, as well – everything from driving to playing sports to using your phone has room for modification!

What can I expect from an ergonomics training session?

Treating an injury symptomatically doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the injury won’t return. That’s why it is important to address the cause of the injury and find ways to fix it.

When you arrive for your initial appointment, one of our highly trained McAllen, TX physical therapists will conduct a physical evaluation, in addition to reviewing your medical history and discussing your work/home environment.

Our physical therapist may ask you questions regarding the set-up of your desk or office, the type of tools and equipment you use, the expectations and demands of your job, and/or a summary of your typical day. This will help determine what items may be subject to modification.

When focusing on ergonomics, the goal is to improve posture, energy efficiency, and body mechanics. This is done by making necessary adjustments, modifications, and changes to reduce and prevent further pain and injury.

For example, we may advise you on changing the position of your computer monitor or suggest setting a time to remind you to get up more frequently to walk around and take a break.

In some circumstances, specialized devices or equipment modifications (such as splints or wrist supports) may be recommended as a way to make your daily tasks more comfortable.

Get started with ergonomics today!

If your work or personal life is causing you pain, it could be fixed with some simple ergonomics!

In addition to the ergonomic training we provide you with, it is likely that you will also be prescribed additional physical therapy services, depending on your individual needs.

This may include any combination of targeted exercises and stretches, manual therapy, joint mobilizations, ice and heat therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and more.

Contact Pure Physical Therapy & Pilates today at McAllen, TX Center to request an appointment and find out how you can live your life comfortably!
