Quinn Orthopedic Physical Therapists are trained in ergonomic assessment with goals of injury prevention and resolution. Movement patterns have high influence on the likelihood of injury due to repetitive stress and sustained positioning.
Typical repetitive strain injuries that are common in the workplace include:
- Cervical Strain & Tension Headaches
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Tendonitis
- Medial or Lateral Epicondylitis
- Back pain
- Trigger Finger
Although not possible to eliminate all risk for injury – poor posture, sedentary behavior, and improper workplace set-up all contribute to elevated risk. Our team will work with you to understand the set-up of your environment as well as the physical demands of your job and daily life. Our focus will be on prevention strategies through improvements in body mechanics, energy efficiency, and postural education.
