North Shore Bank employees recently learned about the importance of ergonomics in the workplace, when physical therapist Rebekah Pogwizd of Freedom Physical Therapy Services put on a presentation at Corporate. Rebekah showed attendees some simple ways to arrange our workspaces, as well as which kinds activities and behaviors are ergonomically healthy, which aren’t, and some great stretches and movements to improve our posture throughout the workday.

You can download a PDF of the stretching exercises she demonstrated here.

That link can also be found in the “Body” portion of our wellness page on the intranet, in the “Recommended Health Links” section. You can also find a PDF version of Rebekah’s PowerPoint presentation and a one-page overview of proper sitting and standing mechanics in the “Body” section of the wellness page.

To your health!
