Did you know?
Your body is your most valuable treatment tool.
Hours of bending, reaching, and maintaining awkward postures can lead to cumulative strain on your neck, shoulders, wrists, and lower back. Small ergonomic adjustments made every day can make a significant difference over the course of your career.
Here are a few simple habits to protect yourself:
• Adjust your table height for every client.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed and your wrists neutral.
• Use your body weight instead of relying only on arm strength.
• Take short stretching breaks between appointments.
Taking care of yourself means you can continue taking care of others.
