  1. HOW DOES ERGONOMICS AFFECT YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING? Presented By Creative Therapy Consultants - Occupational Therapy

  2. WHAT IS ERGONOMICS? • Ergonomic is the science of designing environments to fit the needs of the human body. • It aims to reduce discomfort, strain, and risk of injury. • Focus areas: posture, movement, furniture, tools, and technology.

  3. WHY ERGONOMICS MATTERS FOR HEALTH • Poor ergonomics can lead to chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, and fatigue. • Common symptoms include neck strain, back pain, wrist discomfort, and headaches. • It also affects circulation, energy levels, and mental focus.

  4. IMPACTS ON PHYSICAL HEALTH • Neck & Shoulder Tension: Due to monitor height or poor seating. • Lower Back Pain: Often caused by prolonged sitting or incorrect lumbar support. • Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): From improper keyboard or mouse use. • Ergonomic setups can prevent or alleviate these issues.

  5. EFFECTS ON MENTAL WELL-BEING • Discomfort leads to distraction, irritability, and reduced productivity. • Chronic pain can increase anxiety, stress, and sleep problems. • Ergonomics improves both physical comfort and cognitive performance.
