Since the onset of COVID-19, many of our patients have been working from home. Additionally, now their children are potentially learning from home, too. It’s easy to sit down at the kitchen table or cozy up on the couch with your laptop for the work day. However, it’s important to understand the effects poor posture and faulty ergonomic workspaces can have on your body.
Nicole Eberly, PTA, from our Lancaster, PA location, showcases the most common posture impairments including forward head, rounded shoulders and flattened back. Sitting in a slouched position puts stress on the spine and muscles of the neck, shoulders and back. This stress can have negative effects on flexibility and strength, causing pain or discomfort in these areas.
To avoid discomfort and reduce stiffness, make sure you’re getting up to stretch or move after sitting for long periods of time. #posture #covid19 #workfromhome

When the pandemic first hit, Erin Fabbri, MAT, ATC, was among the athletic trainers who could no longer perform her job as an athletic trainer at Oakton Community College due to the cancellation of sports. Through partnerships maintained by Select Medical and RUSH Physical Therapy, Erin was able to continue to work full-time during the pandemic taking temperatures of employees at FedEx and Baxter Healthcare. She now considers herself a “professional temperature taker” and is very excited to return full-time at Oakton! #NATM2021 #EssentialToHealthcare
