Ergonomic Training

With ergonomic training, staff are given techniques to enable them to identify tension in the body and eradicate it, develop efficient work habits, avoid strain and injury, be more aware of their work environments and use them more intelligently. The Alexander Technique focuses on the use of the body while it is within the workstation. It is the body in relation to the technology (rather than vice-versa) which makes this approach to ergonomics so powerful.

“Barbara has worked with us for the past ten years. She conducts ergonomic assessments to ensure staff are working safely and comfortably. Barbara’s focus on health and wellbeing ensures the risk of injury is minimised through posture awareness and workstation set up. Barbara has delivered tailored workshops for us and guided the firm on appropriate ergonomic furniture and equipment, particularly during office relocations and new fit outs.”
- Jocelyn Sorrensen, Communications Manager. Ebsworth & Ebsworth Lawyers
(as of May 2008; HWL Ebsworth Lawyers)


What course participants have said:

“Barbara’s workshop made me aware of my poor posture. Through a new understanding of the role of the spine and muscles, I have been able to improve my work habits and environment so that my back, neck and arm pain has been relieved.”
“A great course – very worthwhile for all those in office workplaces.”
“Excellent trainer.”
“Excellent. Was made aware of many things previously unknown.”
“The way I use my workstation has changed. I no longer feel strain in my back as I now turn my chair instead of twisting my back. I am now able to view workstation layouts and heights logically and correctly.”
