Our Approach.
WHAT WE DO:
We listen, look, problem solve and inspire.
We listen, look, problem solve and inspire.
You live in a digital age. Your modern life without your computer and mobile phone is unimaginable. You work, connect and socialize with the support of a constant evolving array of electronic tools.
When you are online, you can go anywhere in the world you want — in your head that is. Your body stays where you are, at your desk, couch, bed, kitchen table, or maybe your favorite coffee shop. When you are online, you are mostly not moving at all. This lack of physical activity can rob you from your energy, make you feel tired, sometimes even sore.
You often only use ONE cell phone at any point in time. You also only use ONE chair, ONE keyboard, ONE mouse. And yet, you use them all the time. That’s why making sure a chair fits you, and knowing how to adjust and use it, goes such a long way.
Growing up with computers, who ever taught you how to sit in front of them? Or how to stand up or lay down while using them? That’s what we do.
It is very simple in fact. Not difficult at all. We use a simple and straight forward approach.
We are trained medical professionals and fully understand how to treat you if you prefer to wait until you are hurting. But, we’d rather see you NOW because in one visit we can give you the basic information and training you need to set yourself up for a healthy modern life. We will teach you an ergonomic way that will save your energy, give you balance and allow you to exercise and recuperate in between. You tell us which tools you want to use when and where and we will show you how.
And guess what? Ergonomics is easy! We don’t tell you to go to boot camp if that is not your interest. Or lose weight, or change your diet. All of those things take effort.
What we will do is help you create a computer environment that fits you, an environment that becomes an easy invitation for improvement. Who doesn’t want to sit comfortably and supported?
This does not mean you need a fancy new chair. Maybe all you need is knowing how to adjust the one you have. But if you have a chair that doesn’t fit you, we will tell you the best options on the market that fit your budget and your needs. We are not affiliated with any manufacturers or vendors because we believe our independence is in the best interest of satisfying your needs. We can give you unbiased input based on our extensive years of market research and experience in the field.
Initially, all you need is the knowledge of how to make ergonomics work for you and some awareness. Then your body will quickly adapt because it loves positive change. And you will soon be a happy camper with your computer.
So why do we do it? Like most people, we love to help other people.
Ergonomics is a no brainer. We love the instant gratification we often see. So why NOT using ergonomics?
We work with individuals and large organizations and everybody in between. We offer a simple and easy, yet inspiring and creative approach to engage you and your staff in the ergonomic process you are about to participate in.
First, we help you develop the framework for your implementation process based on your budget and needs.
We design your ergonomic training content for your organization specifically so that every employee can feel that the needs in their particular work environment are met. Why waste time with generic training people don’t need and does not address their concerns? We are well aware that any minute you and your employees are spending time on training, is time away from your actual work.
In our 1 on 1 assessments we listen, look, measure and problem solve together with your employee. We are experienced enough to determine in just a few minutes what new ergonomic equipment someone might need. But we also recognize our assessments as training sessions. We learn about you first so that we can discover what you need to learn from us. With our approach we have learned a lot about what works in a large variety of situations. We take into account what you do at work, but also what you do outside of work.
We strive that you can walk away with an ergonomic plan in hand that will make you feel better and that inspires you, so that you will spread the word about this great thing called ergonomics!
Our passion, commitment, experience, and education are what gives you the best possible return on your investment with us.
