Is dentistry a pain in your neck? Up to 80% of dental pros report back or neck pain at some point in a 12-month period. 80%!!! Translation — it isn’t if you’re at risk — it’s what will you do to prevent or overcome it?
- Stretch and strengthen. Do you have a regimen? If you do and it’s working…awesome. If you don’t and need help…find a local trainer you trust or check out @steph.posturepros. Then stay consistent!!
- Work on your ergonomics. The right positioning matters. The right equipment matters too! My A-dec stools have helped me stay healthy for 28 years…win! My Q-Optics loupes deliver an angle of declination so far superior from my old loupes I regret not switching sooner!!
- Take a look at everything you do: how you sleep; how you exercise; in addition to how you position you…how you position your patient…your hands…I could go on for hours… @steph.posturepros @dentaleconomicsofficial #dentaltips #dental #dentist #dentistry #dentistlife
