Standard solution: Ergonomics at the workstation
Fixed habits that spare back, shoulders, and hands.
§Chair and working height setting
- 01Raise/lower the customer chair so you work with a straight back and elbows down.
- 02Avoid bending down to the customer—adjust the chair instead.
- 03Place tools within arm's reach to avoid unnecessary twists.
§Work habits throughout the day
- 01Keep short, frequent breaks rather than few, long breaks.
- 02Change stance and working posture regularly during longer treatments.
- 03Use light, sharp tools to reduce grip force in hand and wrist.
- 04Wear non-slip shock-absorbing shoes and use an anti-fatigue mat by the chair.
§Sign you should respond to
- 01Tingling or numbness in fingers.
- 02Sustained pain in shoulder neck or lower back.
- 03Soreness in feet/knees after ordinary workdays.
