As a hairstylist the health of your hands, wrists, arms, and back are all vital to the success and longevity of your business; not to mention your overall well-being. Working with multiple clients every day and performing some of the same motions and the same tasks over and over can lead to repetitive motion injuries that can bring short- or long-term pain and stress to your life. Conditions such as the dreaded carpal tunnel syndrome can affect anyone, and hairstylists are especially vulnerable with constant brushing, cutting, drying, and other such common activities. Along with that, lower back pain and stress can be caused by standing and maintaining poor posture for extended periods of time.
ERGO Styling Tools can help address and potentially prevent some of these injuries. ERGO creates nothing but the best in professional-grade, ergonomic hairstyling tools that are designed for overall comfort, performance, and results. With the ergonomically designed handles for all of their tools and extended barrels of their round brushes, ERGO’s lineup is designed with your health, safety, and comfort in mind while giving you the power to deliver incredible results, shinier hair, and knockout blowouts in record time.
Along with tools from ERGO, here are a few other tips to help you stay safer and stave off injuries in the new year:
ADJUST CHAIR HEIGHT: A chair sitting at an improper height will force you to adopt improper posture and lead to muscle strain
MAINTAIN GOOD POSTURE: Keeping elbows close, wrists neutral, and shoulders relaxed can help reduce strain on muscles and nerves
TAKING BREAKS AND STRETCHING: Occasional stretches can help to relieve tension buildup in hands, wrists, and shoulders
Take your personal health into your own hands this year with some of these tips and let ERGO tools help to ease the burden on your hands and wrists. Addressing the causes of repetitive motion injuries can lead to a happier, healthier, and more productive you.
