Easy Ergonomics Information For You

Welcome to Ergonomics-info.com, an ergo project developed by my husband and I. He's the medical brains behind the technical terms, and I, the web designer and writer, attempt to explain, 'what is ergonomics?' in simple words.

Why Read About Ergonomics?

It is essential for your long term health and well-being, especially if you spend more than 2 HOURS on a computer each day.

More than two hours

If you spend more than 2 hours at your computer each day, it is worth investing some knowledge about ergonomics.

Achieving health safety at your workplace is not about rushing out to buy the latest ergonomic products. It is more than that. It is also about understanding how your body moves and the way it was designed to work.

We learn what is natural and good. Applying your new found knowledge will save you time and money. You'll know how to make a informed decision when it comes to shopping to build an ergonomic work station.

Ergonomics Information Here Can Save You Time And Money

Most of us want to solve our posture problems and neck and back pain instantly. We assume that we can remove that pain by buying the latest ergonomic chairs etc.

While that is useful, not having the right posture at your desk or learning the proper way to use the ergonomic furniture, such as typing can do us more harm than good.

Reading and learning what defines ergonomics are important. This website is about that. It is more than 'telling' you how to set up an ergonomic workstation.

How Is This Site Different From Other Ergonomics Info Sites?

It was not until I developed shoulder, back aches, eye strain and not to mention, mild carpal tunnel during my work as a content producer that drove me to research this subject thoroughly.

I've found many fantastic ergonomics websites. In fact, we often mention and credit them here on ergonomics-info.com Though, many medical and technical jargons intimidate me. They also focused on making me spend more money on the newest and latest ergonomic product. Many of these sites are biased and reccomend solutions based on buying their ergo product. They also do not teach ergonomic principles that comes with using these products; if we are to use them effectively.

That is why, I often say, the knowledge of ergonomics must be acquired first before going out and spending a tonne on ergonomic products.

In other words, ergonomics education comes first.

Do You Find Ergonomic Medical, Techinical Terms Intimidating?

The bad news is I DO TOO!

If you are intimidated, I know how you feel, because I used to be intimidated by the subject but luckily for me, my husband designs ergonomic equipment for doctors and hospitals. He takes time to explain and write all these articles, and I spin them in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand format.

I really enjoy learning about this subject so this website is like a blog about my ergonomics education adventure to improving my workplace. I hope it helps you too.
