Ergonomics and posture

This class will help you understand the importance of having good posture, learn how to stretch commonly tight muscles, and how to adjust your workplace to reduce strain on your body.

​

Good posture improves spine health and reduces strain on the body.

Prolonged sitting can cause unwanted strain in our spine and surrounding muscles which then cause pain and dysfunction

​

​

Common muscles that get tight with prolonged sitting, especially poor sitting posture are:

• Suboccipital muscles (can cause headache, earache, jaw and neck pain)
• Anterior scalene, upper trap, levator scap, SCM
• Pectoralis muscles (chest muscles that round your shoulders and promote slumping)
• Spinal muscles
• Iliopsoas, rectus femoris ( the hip flexors in the front).

​

These are common muscles we hold stress in as well! Think jaw clenching, headaches, TMJ, neck, back and shoulder pain.

​

Stretching helps increase blood flow to decrease muscle strain and reduce pain from stress.

​

Ergonomics and Stretching

Ergonomics and Stretching

The spine consists of segmented bodies that move on each other from our head to the tip of our tailbone and pelvis. You can immediately improve the position of the spine by changing just the top or bottom.

​

Try tucking your chin back and notice how your shoulders draw back and your spine lengthens.

​

​

​

Try shifting your pelvis slightly forward and notice the lengthening of your low back and drawing back of your shoulders. Hip flexors, hamstrings, adductors (constantly in shortened position)

​

Office/ Desk Ergonomics

Now we know our bodies want to move, but sometimes that just isn’t always feasible during a busy workday. If you find yourself sitting for long periods of time here are some helpful ergonomic tips to keep your body in a healthy seated position.

1. Sit in a supportive chair with your feet flat and knees at >90 degrees.
2. Monitor should be arm’s length away and no more than 2 inches above your natural line of sight.
3. Shoulders relaxed and neutral and elbows at approximately 90 degrees.
4. Keep the mouse and keyboard comfortable and close to avoid repetitive reaching.
5. Sit up tall and use a lumbar support if needed to help keep the spine from slouching

​

Note: -Use a footrest or wrist pad if needed

-Use a headset to avoid neck strain

-Try different keyboards and mouse to see what works best for you

-If possible get a standing desk!!

​
