Home Office ~

Does your company allow employees to telecommute?

Do you have staff working from home?

Do you work from home?

It is easy to underestimate the amount of time spent working at home computers or using other technologies such as iPads and cell phones. As a society, we are spending upwards of 16 hours a day interfacing with our technology.  As we grow more dependent upon it, our bodies are at greater risk for injury.

Whether you sit at a desk, at your kitchen table or lounge on your couch, you are at risk for soft tissue damage from repetitive motions and awkward positioning. Working from home has more distractions making people less conscious about their positioning at their home work stations, but soft tissue damage can happen anywhere.

Ergo Life Solutions will come to your home and evaluate all your work stations. We will make recommendations for safe work practices for you and your family. We will consider all the situations that may be contributing to discomfort and help alleviate your pain.
