Ergonomics :: FAQ
My body is not in any great pain after working at a computer for the last five years. Why should I change my work habits now?
 
Many injuries that develop at a computer are Microtrauma injuries. This type of injury is the result of repeated small stresses over a period of time. Suddenly, the day comes when you’re in a lot of pain. This type of injury is not like a broken arm or leg which happen suddenly. You might not feel any pain now but you could easily be on your way to a repetitive stress injury. It is important to realize this and change your work habits now before it is too late.
