Did you know the average person sits for approximately 10 hours per day? Between work, driving, resting and leisure activities, substantial time spent sitting can have a profoundly negative effect on your neuromusculoskeletal system. So profound, in fact, that experts believe excessive sitting can actually increase your mortality risk. Ergonomics can help change that. Sitting is as hard on your spine as sugar is on your teeth.

Ergonomics is a branch of science, the goal of which is to evaluate the human body’s abilities and limitations and improve interaction with environments, products and systems. Often, ergonomics involves designing spaces and furniture to better accommodate the human structure. At Revolution Chiropractic, our ergonomic consultations are an invaluable tool for improving your interaction with your Miami, Queensland work space, so you can maintain a healthier neuromusculoskeletal system.
