Southern California’s Perfect Fit Ergonomics is here to help you achieve your goal of working healthier in 2020.  We work with a number of manufacturers who offer different ergonomic products to help prevent future and alleviate current conditions in the work place.

Avoid Muscle Problems with a Vertical Mouse – Using a vertical mouse keeps the forearm and wrist at a neutral rest position.  This can help minimize muscle use and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

Alleviate Neck Strain with a Laptop Riser – Raising your laptop to a similar height as your monitor (i.e. to eye level) will help prevent eyestrain and neck pain.

Reduce Risks to Heart with a Sit-Stand Desk – There are so many benefits to adding movement to your day with a height adjustable desk option. Utilizing a sit-stand desk can help you burn more calories, aid digestion, reduce neck and back pain, and improve circulation.

Improve Brain Function with Daylight Lamps – Improve mood, productivity, and mental awareness with a daylight lamp, particularly in offices where there is little natural light coming in.

Prevent Poor Blood Circulation with Foot Rests – The benefits to using a foot rest include improved circulation and blood flow by reducing pressure on your legs. Foot Rests can help to prevent blood clots related to deep vein thrombosis, relieve pressure on the lower back, and decrease swelling and varicose veins.

The newest workplace design trends are moving more toward a blend of aesthetics and functionality for office space layout.  The modern designs focus on employee collaboration and increased productivity.  The collaborative workplace is where up-and-coming generations thrive.  An open floor plan, as opposed to cubicle spacing with high walls, with a mix of different functional spaces (think reserving a private office), is a good way to foster employee teamwork.  Perfect Fit Ergonomics, based out of Ventura County, CA, prides itself on offering products from a variety of manufacturers who design these modern-day ergonomic products for the collaborative workplace environment.

ERG International, out of Oxnard California, has perfected that blend between style and usefulness for the business office.  ERG International’s Connos Collection is an extensive & versatile modular backless bench that features comfortable seating with simple designs and unique shapes that is perfect for the office employee. Their Star & Star Grande have unique patterns that will bring dynamic design to any collaborative space with endless configurations.

Perfect Fit Ergonomics is excited to announce that one of our manufacturers just won an award for healthiest company!  Workrite Ergonomics, out of Northern California, is a six-time winner of this award.  What does that mean, exactly?  They were selected as one of the healthiest companies after completing a Business Journal survey describing what they do to help their employees reach their healthy lifestyle goals.  The work life/healthy life balance can be difficult to master, but Workrite Ergonomics has found a way to help.  Workrite manufactures sit/stand desks that can help you achieve your health goals by spending more time standing and less time sitting.

Increased sitting can lead to many unwanted health issues.  These issues include an increased chance of diabetes, heart disease, and weight gain. Most office workers sit for the majority of their day, but with a sit/stand work station, you can incorporate more time standing at work while still being productive in the workplace.  Some say even more so!  Utilizing a sit-stand work station has also been linked to lowering blood sugar levels (especially after lunch), decreasing back pain, and improving energy levels.  Fight that three o’clock feeling with a sit-stand desk.

Ventura County based Perfect Fit Ergonomics is a proud distributor of Workrite Ergonomics products and many other manufacturers who offer adjustable height desks, to the southern California region including Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and beyond.  Contact us anytime for a free demo of one of these healthy lifestyle workstations for a new healthy you this year.

Step 1: Set the correct seat pan depth. Ideally, 1 to 4 fingers between the seat pan and the back of the leg will provide the proper amount of support for the upper body.

Step 2: Set the backrest. The curvature of the backrest needs to fit the natural curve of the spine for proper support.

Step 3: Set the height. The heels of the feet should be well supported putting the top of legs almost parallel with the floor.

Step 4: Set the arm rests. Place one arm on you lap and notice where you elbow naturally rests. Then, raise the office chair arm to just below that point. This will keep the shoulders in its natural position supporting the forearms.

If you cannot set the office chair as described and you are experiencing discomfort, it is time to look for a new one. Many office chairs have levers to adjust the chair to fit your body perfectly and once set, you never move them again.

Perfect Fit Ergonomics in Ventura County brings office chairs to businesses to demo for seven days assisting clients in establishing the base line model. PFE also assists with the hard to fit employee. Please go to www.perfectergonomics.com for more details and schedule your demo chair to be delivered.

For the first 10 years of my career in ergonomics, I spent the majority of time working with Fortune 100 size organizations as well as medium private business, building ergonomic training and assessment tools that were deployed in 54 countries utilizing the Cardinus e-learning suite of online tools. No matter the size of the business a common thread was revealed, most want atheistically pleasing business furniture that also provides a proper fit and ergonomic functionality.

Ergonomic Consultants, Workers Comp managers and the like, all desire to reduce pain and discomfort in the workplace. Perfect Fit Ergonomics was founded on the idea to work in conjunction with these individuals by learning from their expertise, and in return, PFE provides new product knowledge to them. The result for the business furniture buying company is beautiful, aesthetically pleasing furniture to help keep employees on task, engaged, and comfortable.

Perfect Fit Ergonomics was founded on the “fit” principle. First, find the proper business furniture by using ergonomics as a basis so it fits perfectly. Second, utilize interior designers and space planners to assist with fabric, laminates, veneers, and other materials making sure the business furniture fit perfectly in the office. Lastly, utilize ergonomic assessment background to assist employees reduce discomfort and pain which increase their level of fitness and in turn their productivity. With these principles in mind, Perfect Fit Ergonomics employs interior designers, attends manufacturer product launches, attends trade shows, and amongst other things, is constantly looking for that item that will work for the hard to fit employee and options that will fit in creating a more ergonomically correct workplace for the entire business location.
