We are grateful for technology. Our lives have expanded, our tasks are easier, and our goals manifest in record time. However, the price we are paying for this blessing are becoming wide spread.

Get Into Your Comfort Zone

What is Stress 

and How You Can Reduce How it Affects You

Book Review by Deborah Bryan GypsyOwl Not intended to replace the care of a qualified professional health care provider.

Wendy explains about stress, causes and solutions. She expands on areas that we do not associate with the general association with the 'ergonomics' terminology. Of course we know that our desk, chair, keyboard, wrist rest, etc at our workstation needs to 'fit' us%u2026but, did you know that sleep, nutrition, relationships, long hours, and lack of adequate break time contributes to pain? This book is comprehensive and has specific situations for you to connect to and then follow the guidance to resolve your situation, thereby reducing or completely removing your pain. Wendy's approach is restorative whole person guidance that is insightful and inspiring.

A Typical Workstation

"My definition of the term Ergonomic," proclaims Wendy, "is creating a workspace that
fits you, rather then your body contorting to fit it. It's a healthy interaction with one's
environment." Wendy Young's business includes over 2000 customers including Fortune
500 companies, small businesses, and home computer users. ~ Get Into Your Comfort Zone

Wendy was hired to resolve workstation issues, to use her knowledge of ergonomics to improve the 'spaces' that her client's staff were working in.
According to Wendy, that is only part of the process of optimizing the knowledge and incorporating it into a transformative experience.



" I have been an ergonomic consultant to various corporate clients since the early
90's and have seen too many people being injured in their workspace. Even
though these companies hired me to conduct individual workstation evaluations
for their employees there was not enough time to teach ergonomic principles in a
way that people could easily learn. " ~ Wendy G Young

" I help computer users eliminate and reduce pain caused by awkward postures,
stress and long hours of intense typing and mousing at work. Almost everyone I
have spoken to has complained about some level of discomfort or pain caused
by computer work. When I tell people what I do they usually tell me "I need you"
or "I wish my company would hire you." ~ "Get Into Your Comfort Zone"

We have been learning

That Isn't Working

When it Come To

The Body and Pain Caused by Work Stations
that do not support productive posture.

I Was in Profound Pain for Years 

When it got so bad I had to go to the doctor...I had waited far too long.

I would have given anything to have this resource 7 years ago when I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I had not heard of it before and was not able to find much about the condition. What I did learn is that it is generally osteoarthritis first and the later stages can lead to the degeneration of the disc material that pads the bones. In my case it is in the spine so I have some bones in my spine that are beginning to fuse together which reduces movement ability and often causes pain. When I discovered this condition, it was because I was in profound pain and one morning could not stand up straight. That soon became an inability to walk. Over time I was unable to do the simplest daily living things for myself.

Now... Get Into Your Comfort Zone - The Book Says This Is Why.
"Ergonomics embodies holistic principles.
It is a science of the body, mind and environment.
Psychological stress affects the body.
Mental and emotional stress creates fatigue or physical pain in the body.
Physical stress affects the mind.
Fatigue or pain affects attitude, outlook on life and lessens ability to cope & relax.
Environmental stress affects the body and mind.
Poor lighting or glare can affect your eye muscles.
Cold temperatures can stiffen your muscles and heat can make you tired.
Noise can affect your ability to focus on your tasks.
Productivity is diminished in all of the above because
you are out of your physical comfort zone.
So, we are going to discuss how to get inside your physical comfort zone."

Before I Found Wendy's Book, I Was Searching for Answers 

Sorting Through Information, I Was Able To Find a FRACTION of Help...

After a year of intensive traditional health care, physical therapy, injections, and so forth, I continued to get worse. Something had to change. I started to figure out 'some' of the things that Wendy has included in her book. I began to implement a small fraction of ideas and concepts, which took me hours and hours of research and investigation to discover. Not to mention the sorting through information and trying to decide which of it was valid and which wasn't a good fit for me. And, what I came up with isn't a fraction of what Wendy has given me in her book.

This Is What You Get In The Book 

Like I said%u2026what I would have given to have this book back then.

You see, I used a handful of the ideas you will find in this book and without the insight, without the comprehensive knowledge that Wendy has interjected here. And I got results.

The BIG Results Came After I Discovered This Book!

So, if you would like to approach your pain in a holistic comprehensive way that really 'fits' you, this is the book to buy and the cost is remarkably low for what you are going to get.

This is what you get:
  • Stress information.
  • Hidden causes of stress and how stress and pain are often showing up at the same time.
  • The ways to identify stress and how to dispel it to prevent more injury. Yes~ Stress causes injury, discomfort, and pain. Who doesn't have stress right? Well this book will help you to reduce the affect it has on you.
  • Practical application of workspace ergonomics
  • How to identify common injuries (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis, DeQuervain's Disease, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome),
  • Posture Basics and Advanced Concepts (tips for preparing yourself for and performing tasks so that you reduce injury)
  • Strengthening activities (specific movements that condition your body for the tasks you are doing - this is essential and one of the few areas I was able to implement after many hours of research and This works very well,
  • Specific instructions about how to prepare and tackle tasks at your computer,
  • Breathing and how to determine if you are getting enough oxygen, have good circulation and other common conditions that we see as a direct result of computer work.
  • This brings us to page 55 . There are 136 pages in the book.

How Much Is Reducing Stress Worth To You? 

As you can see, by the wealth of information in this book and the very nature of our work these days, this is a must have resource for anyone who sits at a computer for more than an hour a day and especially if you are experiencing pain.

Is your pain perhaps going to be relieved by practicing activities, movements, and postures that improve circulation in spite of the 'work' that needs to be done?

Would reducing stress in your body (how stress affects your body and mind) be worth say a one-time cost of $99?

Have you ever went to have a massage and spent $99 only to feel just as tense by the time you returned home? What if you could reduce the stress from taking its grip on you in the first place? Prevent the Stress Over and Over Again?

High Cost of Temporary Remedies 

Would 'feeling' better in spite of working long hours in front of the computer be worth $59 to you?

Have you ever paid for a couple bottles of pain medication or other pain management supplies? A heating pad, Tylenol, some Advil, or a prescription muscle relaxer?

What does this kind of medication and supplies cost and long term cost is not even a consideration?

Not trying to scare you, but, I decided that I felt better when I wasn't taking Tylenol. An occasional dose I suppose but, I was 'needing' (so I thought) the maximum dosage day after day. Now, I only occasionally take them and even then I am thinking there is something else I can do that is healthier and wiser.

    Excellent lens, will have to come back again and go through this to extract every bit of information. I have arthritis and have often thought that the work area I have needs to be redesigned around me. I think a lot of folks suffer without realising their problems could be sorted out. 5* and a sprinling of Angel dust

Ergonomics on Wikipedia 

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.Berkeley Lab. Integrated Safety Management: Ergonomics. Website. Retrieved 9 July 2008.

The International Ergonomics Association defines ergonomics as follows.International Ergonomics Association. What is Ergonomics. Website. Retrieved 21 August 2008.

Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.

Ergonomics is employed to fulfill the two goals of health and productivity. It is relevant in the design of such things as safe furniture and easy-to-use interfaces to machines.

Occupational Therapy On Wikipedia 

Occupational therapy, often abbreviated as "OT", uses meaningful and purposeful occupations to promote health. These can be work related activities to leisure activities. Occupational therapists work with individuals, families, groups and communities to facilitate health and well-being through engagement or re-engagement in occupation. Occupational therapists are becoming increasingly involved in addressing the impact of social, political and environmental factors that contribute to exclusion and occupational deprivation.Occupational Deprivation: Global Challenge in the New Millennium, Whiteford (2000), British Journal of Occupational Therapy Volume 63, Number 5, pp. 200-204(5)

The World Federation of Occupational Therapists defines occupational therapy as a profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. Occupational therapists address the question, "Why does this person have difficulties in his or her daily activities (or occupations), and what can we adapt to make it possible for him or her to manage better to impact his or her health and well-being?? Occupational therapists use careful analysis of physical, environmental, psychosocial, mental, spiritual, political and cultural factors to identify barriers to occupation. The primary goal of an occupational therapist is to enable individuals, groups and communities to participate in actitivies which are meaningful to them, reflect their beliefs and values, and produce a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction. Occupational therapy has been described as addressing the "skills for the job of living" necessary for "living life to its fullest."AOTA http://www.aota.org Occupational therapy draws from the fields of medicine, psychology, sociology, anthropology, ethnography, architecture and many other disciplines in developing its knowledge base. A new discipline of occupational science has been developed to enhance the evidence base of the profession.
