Teachers should be trained on two topics, both at the intersection of ergonomics and posture:
  • as an employee, how can I protect my health from the health risks related to screen work (e.g., how can I avoid neck and back pain using a laptop or a tablet at home, how should I prepare my courses, what is ergonomic homeworking)?
  • as an education specialist, how should I give good posture habits to children, how should I organize my classes to reduce the negative impacts of prolonged sitting, how to deal with digitization of teaching, which posture exercises should be included during the sports classes, etc.?
Based on my daily experience in occupational health, I can help you protecting kids from future muscle and joint pain (MSD), which cause 44% of the whole absenteeism in Switzerland.
