Treating an injury symptomatically doesnt necessarily guarantee that the injury wont return. Thats why it is important to address the cause of the injury and find ways to fix it.
“Ergonomics” is a Greek word that roughly translates to “fitting a job to the person.” It can be defined as the way in which we improve movement and function within daily life. Ergonomics typically contains certain tools or body mechanic strategies that focus on maximizing efficiency and safety, in addition to identifying/changing factors that may lead to injury. Our physical therapists can use ergonomics to help resolve issues with pain you may face in your daily life, in addition to helping you prevent injuries. The items you use every day in your home or workplace are subject to modification, and we can help make them as comfortable for you as possible.
