Computers run the world, and humans run computers.
The majority of the work force in the U.S. spends up to 8-10 hrs./day sitting and operating a computer. Statistics indicate that these types of stresses placed on the human body can be equal to, or greater than, those associated with highly physical jobs that provide for movement throughout the day.

Operating a computer has become a necessity in the working world, but painful conditions that often come along with sitting at a computer work station are not! Fortunately, there are many practical low cost solutions that can be implemented at the work station, that can significantly reduce the exposure to these stressors and minimize the risk of developing these painful conditions.

Let Industrial Motions, Inc. help you to minimize your risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders in your office work place. Our North Carolina State University, Accredited Office Ergonomics Evaluator, Kristie Nelson PTA, provides comprehensive, onsite workstation evaluations with instant feedback and modifications to the work station in order to optimize the workspace with the existing equipment. If further intervention/equipment is necessary, it will be indicated in the formal report for the employers review.

In addition the structural aspects of the work station, we will educate your workers on how their posture and positions effect the working tissues of their bodies. We can also help you to further prevent your exposure to risk by introducing you and your employees to the Work Day Warm-up for office workers. This is an exercise program designed specifically to address the physical stresses of the computer work station. The program takes less than 5 min. to perform and provides great benefits to your employees.

The cost of an office ergonomic evaluation is a fraction of the cost of one workplace injury. Statistics show that the total cost of a work related upper extremity condition can be in the neighborhood of $20,000.

The cost of an ergonomic workspace evaluation is less than the cost of one visit to the Orthopedist. Prevent one office visit and receive your return on investment. Prevent a full blown injury and claim and receive it 100 times.
Don't wait for aches and pains to become strains and claims!
