Change the way you think about Ergonomics

We want to break down the traditional thoughts on ergonomics which sets out to achieve a perfect posture. You’ve seen the posters.

An upright, ergonomically “correct” posture that is widely promoted may not necessarily be optimal. This is because the human body needs movement. Unfortunately, most of our careers involve being chained to our desks.

The opinion amongst many experts is that the best posture is a dynamic posture and good posture and ergonomics should be approached on an individual basis. O2 Health can help find what that is for each of your staff.
