Ergonomics- Avoiding Work-related Injuries

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Ergonomics looks at what kind of work you do, what tools you use and your whole job environment. The aim is to find the best fit between you and your job conditions. Examples of ergonomic changes to your work might include:

•Adjusting the position of your computer keyboard to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome
•Being sure that the height of your desk chair allows your feet to rest flat on floor
•Learning the right way to lift heavy objects to prevent back injuries
•Using handle coatings or special gloves to suppress vibrations from power tools

No matter what the job is, the goal is to make sure that you are safe, comfortable, and less prone to work-related injuries.

Kick off your day with a light breakfast, a great presentation, and a chance to network with other Santa Cruz business people.

About Dr. Jonathan Holtz:
Education: 1980: Masters of Art in Physical Therapy (PT), Stanford University Medical School

Jonathan is passionate about the physical therapy care he offers. He is thorough and knowledgeable which makes his care very individualized and relevant. His goal is to leave a client more empowered and more able to care for themselves as he recognizes that effective treatment does not happens in the clinic but happens in the movements of one’s life. His past clients have said that he understands and doesn't rush them, that he is extremely knowledgeable and caring.

Wake Up, Santa Cruz is designed to create a more intimate atmosphere and an opportunity for teaching and learning.
