Ergonomics
"The Science of Fitting the Job to the Person,
Not the Other Way Around!"

How Can Ergonomics help you?
The goal of ergonomics is to design or redesign workstations, tools and work tasks for safety, efficacy and comfort. A successful ergonomic design will help reduce common ailments such as discomfort, fatigue and injuries as well as increase morale and productivity! It will make you (or your staff) happier and more able to get a lot done!

Do You Have:
. Eye Strain?
. Sore Neck or Back?
. Arm or Hand Weakness?
. Pain, Numbness & Tingling?
. Injuries?
. Fatigue?

Work with greater comfort and efficiency
in your office, industry or home!

Environments:
Office:
Do you have the most modern and complex office environment or are you squeezed into the most challenging and modest work place cubicle?

Industrial or Other Type of Job:
Do you do physical work? Work outside? Work with a sewing machine, heavy objects, up on high ladders or in a school?

At Home:
Do you spend a significant amount of time in your kitchen, bending over and lifting children, caring for an elderly parent or bed-ridden person, putting on your make-up, doing house cleaning?

Special Note to New Parents:
Handling a squirming child, breast-feeding, getting a kid into and out of a crib, car-seat or stroller can be extremely hard on your back, neck and arms!  Especially when you are sleep deprived! (Two children of her own makes Irene Diamond an expert on Ergonomics for New Parents! Her new DVD - Ergo-Mommy should be released soon.)

Special Note to People Who Sleep:
Of course we all sleep, but some of us have trouble getting a good night's sleep.

Do you have a hard time finding a comfortable position? Do you wake up due to pain? Does your arm fall asleep before you do? Do you know you need a new mattress and/or pillow, but don't know what to buy? We can help with information on products, but more importantly, guidance on, believe it or not

Regardless of what you do - you need to know how to do it easier,
with less strain on your body!
