Supporting The Sometimes Harmful Task of Therapy Provision With Ergonomic Therapy Stools

Sitting and Standing Solutions While Providing Therapy

Therapists spend their working hours attending to the physical needs of others and often neglect their own comfort. They sometimes find themselves holding awkward positions and postures while helping their patients stretch or when supporting patients during fine and gross motor activities. Ergonomic injuries restrict a therapist's performance capabilities and can even land them in the patient role. Milagon's ergonomic therapy stools, chairs and mats facilitate more efficient work for all kinds of medical therapists, including:

• Speech therapists
• Physical therapists
• Occupational therapists
• Respiratory therapists
• Radiation therapists
• Massage therapists
• Psychiatrists
• Psychologists

Assessing environment and adapting it to optimize a patient's functional level is an important part of occupational therapy, and it should also be addressed with respect to how the therapy is delivered. Occupational therapists who adhere to ergonomic principles themselves can more efficiently administer therapy and model the concept for their patients.
