Posture Information | Ergonomics For Computer Workstations

Changing the ergonomics for computer workstations was certainly a positive step in helping people avoid the repetitive stress injuries so commonplace at one time.

Carpal tunnel syndrome seemed to affect almost everyone before positive steps were taken to identify the culprit in this new epidemic. Many of my patients that work at computer workstations even have the "proper ergonomic workstation design" picture displayed prominently on the back side of their i.d. badges.

Yet these people are patients in my office for conditions and back problems that aren't being helped by ergonomics for computer workstations. It's still possible to slouch and slump in your workstation.

Just being seated for long periods of time creates shortened hamstrings and hip flexors. Slouching and slumping will continue to put stress and strain on your upper back and neck.

The one thing I've seen repeatedly that even the best ergonomics can't seem to help is bad posture. I keep seeing new and improved reminder systems that will help you remember to sit up straight, but less emphasis on really making a lasting change.

Alarms can be shut off or ignored. You can only get reminded or scolded so many times about your posture before you start to tune it out. If you engage in preventative things like stretching and strengthening activities to improve posture, no one will need to remind you to sit up straight and your workstation ergonomics will be less of a factor in keeping your injury-free and out of pain.

"Got Great Results In Just 2 Weeks!"

Having great success using the lower back exercises from Dr. Cordova's Posture Confidence DVD, I didn't hesitate to try her exercises for the neck.

I wasn't disappointed! After 2 weeks, my neck and shoulders began to feel and look better. I also found the ebook very informative and easy to read. It's a good reference to have!

Thank you!

Pain Relief From Neck And Back Problems "With Little Effort"!

"Dr. Cordova, I have just read your book and find it to be very 'eye opening'.

My job typically has long hours and requires international air travel. Both require that I sit in the same position for long periods of time. Without even knowing what happened, I found that my shoulders were rounding, my neck would ache, my head would ache, and my back felt like it was “going out”. On the airplane, I struggle for comfort and work myself into remarkable positions.

After reading your book, I find that -- with very little effort -- I can perform your recommended exercises and relieve this pain. I thought that the pain resulting from these activities was something I had to live with. Your book has taught me that this is not true.

Thank you very much for revealing this wisdom. I feel better already."
