Ergonomic Car Seating Position

Ergonomic Car Seating Position

Car seating has changed over the years, but most cars have not gotten more ergonomically sound and comfortable, but rather worse.  Some of these issues can be remedied by making adjustments to the existing components and other times an addition may need to be made. 

No matter the circumstance, the more you know and understand about neutral posture and positioning, the better off you will be in ensuring you are comfortable in your car.

Ergonomic Car Assessment – Intended for those who want to be proactive in setting up their car seating/environment and those who are already symptomatic/experiencing discomfort, have a work-related injury and/or have a medical diagnosis, this level of assessment provides a detailed report that addresses causative factors and includes justification for recommendations.
