Michael Hollstegge, DPT | WorkPartners

Poor posture can easily become second nature, causing and aggravating episodes of back and neck pain and damaging spinal structures. Fortunately, the main factors affecting posture and ergonomics are completely within one's ability to control and are not difficult to change.

This month’s article lists guidelines suggesting several ways to improve posture and ergonomics in the work setting.

WorkPartners is proud to promote the March 21 Executive Health Care Strategy Forum presented by Tri-City Medical Center, XiMed Healthy Partners and Key Benefit Administrators. This forum is designed to offer your company's decision makers the opportunity to learn what other options executives are considering when purchasing healthcare for employees.

Sustainable healthcare options continue to be key challenges for most American corporations and organizations.

This complimentary forum will bring thought leaders together to discuss current strategies to address the growing concerns, and offer insights into an innovative option that executives from every organization should consider when considering healthcare purchasing.
