Say Goodbye to Little Aches and Pains
Have you noticed little aches and pains in your body when you get off work? There’s a good chance your workspace, whether in an office or a factory, hasn’t been designed with ergonomics in mind.
Ergonomics is a field of study focused on how humans fit into their environment, with a particular interest in examining how we can improve movement and function within our day-to-day life, especially in the workplace.
At Active Health Solutions in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland, we understand that an improper desk setup or uncomfortable desk chair can have wide-reaching ramifications on your overall health and wellness. With a bit of modification, the items you use daily in your home or workplace can significantly improve your health.
As your musculoskeletal experts, we are well trained in performing ergonomic assessments and are well positioned to perform these assessments as we are mobile. We will likely suggest an ergonomic assessment if we think your workstation posture is affecting your condition, but we’re always happy to review your set-up upon request as well.

Why Ergonomics in the Workplace are so Important
The average American spends about a third of their life at work, so it’s no wonder that our jobs can greatly impact our health. Several conditions, from carpal tunnel syndrome to tension headaches to low back pain, often stem from a poor workplace environment, creating pain and dysfunction even when we’re not on the clock.
In office environments, these injuries are usually brought on by poor posture, prolonged sitting, and improper workspace setup. By improving the ergonomics of your workstation, you decrease your chances of developing these conditions–and you’ll probably become more productive, too!
And while ergonomics plays a big role in the workplace, you can also implement these practices within your daily life. Everything from driving to playing sports to using your phone has room for modification.
