Proper Posture May Prevent Office-Related RSI's
Keep it Neutral
When Preston Olson, DPT, owner of Prevention PT in
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., works with clients on proper positioning at the
workstation, he generally uses the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) recommendations as a guide. Keeping the body in a
neutral position decreases the strain on the body and potential damage
to nerves and muscles, he says.
Olson customarily approaches positioning from the head down. "I want
the top part of the monitor at eye level, to about 15 degrees below,"
he says. This avoids undue neck strain that comes from constantly
looking up or down.
"At the shoulders, you want to look at a chair that has back support up
to the bottom of the shoulder blades at least, to give some support
throughout the day," Olson recommends. Armrests should gently support
the elbows at an approximate 90-degree angle without forcing the
shoulder girdle into elevation.

New Classes/New Schedule
Beginning April 13, 2008
If you haven't joined us
for classes in a while, make sure to check
out the new
schedule. We now offer 6-week pre-registration
for evening Mat Classes. This has been implemented
to alleviate the problem of having to arrive
45min. early to ensure a space. Though you
do not need to be a member to participate in
any of our classes, pre-registration is on
a first-come first-served basis and Pilates
Room Members have priority, followed by
members of Island
Health and Fitness. Check out the online
schedule for a list of both pre-registered
and walk-in class times and start dates. In
addition to new mat classes be sure to look
for the new evening Reformer
class and a 90 min. Combo Class ( 45min Mat/45min
Reformer ).
Though
6 private sessions and instructor approval are generally required
before participating in our Reformer classes, we now offer a cost
effective alternative to the private training prerequisite. The Fundamental Reformer class
is an 8-week targeted series that will take you through all of the
essentials, and will prepare you for entry level participation in
regularly scheduled group Reformer classes. The next 8-week session
begins April 16th. Check out the schedule online for a list of days and times and call to register soon. These classes fill up quick!
