Are you in physical pain at the office?

I was! I have been - for so many years! I have tried different work station set-ups before, but I never found anything that truly relieved my pains. I really thought I had to live with the pain for the rest of my life - unless I get a second career and become a movie director or an astronaut.

Then I went to see an occupational therapist, and she must think I came from a different world. She explained the right posture and workstation set-up to me like I was a kindergarten student. I finally went and bought new office furniture. And right that instant - when I had a keyboard tray installed so I can now type with my arms bent at a 90 degree angle - my pains were gone - immediately.

I'm like a born-again worker now! And then a number of my coworkers, as they started noticing my new workstation, told me how much pain they're in.

Fellow office workers - I urge you to go fix your work station. While you may still hate your work, at least you won't be hating in pain!
