ergonomic training

Our ‘Holistic Ergonomics Training’ stands out in a marketplace crowded with companies that still miss up to 66% of the picture when it comes to really helping their team be free from debilitating pain and tension.

A persons ergonomic set up can be perfect but if for example they are exhausted due to poor health and diet how in the world do you expect them to sit upright, it’s not going to happen and pain, tension, low productivity and a host of negative effects are the result.

A poor ergonomic set up can cause the things everyone knows about like headaches, bad necks, bad backs and RSI’s (repetitive strain injuries) but did you know that poor posture and bad ergonomics can cause:

• An over stimulated sympathetic nervous system (the fight or flight/stressed part of the nervous system) and how that affects an person’s ability to deal with stress & recover from the daily stressors of work and life.
• Neck pain and lower back pain and how this decreases productivity at work and at home.
• Decreased ability to clear toxins, fungus and parasites from the body.
• Decreased peristalsis (the pumping of the digestive system) leading to digestive issues such as gas, constipation and acid reflux/heart burn and why optimal digestion is such a key component of good health.
• Down regulated oxygen consumption leading to decreased concentration, productivity, creativity & ability to deal with stress.
• Down regulated metabolism leading to issues losing weight or causing your team to gain fat easily.

Who would have thought that poor ergonomics could seriously cause a problem for someone trying to lose weight? You might be thinking that it isn’t really possible, that I’m just twisting science to make a point but its true and the team at Corporate Wellness Co have seen it time and time again in our Clients.

There are certain key elements that our team has identified, apart from the classic ergonomics training (which we also do) that can make or break (literally) your team member’s health and posture. We look into 6 key elements among them postural awareness, stability and balance, spinal flexibility, all of which significantly affect a person’s ability to sit in the correct position and to make an important contribution at work.

The other key part to our holistic ergonomics is health and diet, how can a person sit properly and be pain free when they slouch due to exhaustion, suffering from stress and poor quality sleep. Of course part of this is the motivational aspect which we also deal with, we show your team what’s possible and what a wonderful difference it can make in their lives as well as highlighting through actual case studies how not doing the things we recommend can really destroy their quality of life.

The classic part of our ergonomics training involves a risk assessment of your environment and each employee’s workspace set up with a detailed report to the management so that you can implement the necessary changes.

The two parts combined; classic ergonomic assessments and our holistic training is the only choice you should consider.If you’re interested in taking your company to the next level and making a huge difference in your team’s lives then please get in touch.
