Ergonomic Work Environment and Physical Therapy

An ergonomic work environment is designed to minimize strain and injury by optimizing the interaction between the worker and their tasks. Proper ergonomics can prevent a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and neck strain.

At Therapy Partners of North Texas, we emphasize the importance of ergonomics and provide expert guidance to create healthier and more productive workspaces.
