The Importance of Good Home and Workplace Ergonomics

When we think of injury at work we rarely think of the fact that serious injury can occur whilst sitting at a desk in front of a computer screen but the facts show injuries due to stress and RSI are costing UK industry up to £20 Billion per year. (Buckle and Devereux)

Given that we now as a working society spend a lot more time in front of a computer and even 2 or 3 computer screens at a time and also with the increased use of Mobile devices, Tablets and iPads, it is therefore not surprising that here at the Total Health Practice we are seeing an increase in patients who are presenting with symptoms of a Repetitive Strain Injury or upper limb disorders.  

At the Total Health Practice we advise on improvements to the work station environment and educating patients on correct working practices with the aims of reducing the risks of stress and repetitive strain injuries.
