What is ergonomics? A common misconception about ergonomics is that the right tool will fix all your problems. The problem being the ergonomic tool you seek cannot be bought. You were born with it. Ergonomics is about customizing the task to the human body, not to be mistaken with customizing the body to fit the job. Ergonomics is not about product. Ergonomics is about education and application. Body awareness, exercise, stretches, and the knowledge that you can and must take care of your own body is the key to a healthy ergonomic approach to working and playing. The next few pages are brief outlines...ergo in a very small nutshell. Guidelines to give you the ability to look around your environment and get a feel for healthier working habits. It is not until after education that you want to apply product. Product before education, and product application without ergonomic education and follow-up is like putting braces on your own teeth and assuming they will work. That approach will indeed make you appear to be addressing your concerns, but in fact, it is not.
