What others are saying about Rob’s posture expertise…
“IAlthough my company has been at the same office location for twenty years, our work stations had never been assessed for ergonomics.
Rob was able to identify problems and offer solutions to employees who had been experiencing pain and discomfort from sitting at their desks.
For younger employees, Rob's workshop provided useful and practical information on how to prevent chronic pain from developing.
I only wish I had organized this workshop sooner.”
Lynn Ross, Manager - Membership, SOCAN Western Canada
