Your desk, chair, bed, car, phone, and even the way you work from the couch can influence how your body feels.
And sometimes the solution isn’t buying another product labeled “ergonomic.”
In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn talks with Christina Russo, a licensed occupational therapist and Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist with more than 10 years of experience in workplace ergonomics and injury prevention.
Christina is the Office Ergonomics Program Director with The Rising Workplace, where she helps individuals and organizations create safer, more comfortable, and productive environments.
Together, Autumn and Christina explore ergonomics beyond the traditional office—and the small adjustments that can make a surprisingly big difference in how you move, work, sleep, and feel.
What You’ll Learn
One of Christina’s biggest messages is simple: set the environment up for the person using it.
A desk that works beautifully for someone who is 6’2” may not work for someone who is 5’2”. A chair may be technically “ergonomic” and still be completely wrong for your body. Even moving to someone else’s workstation for the day may mean taking a few minutes to readjust everything.
Think about what you do when you get into someone else’s car: you move the seat, adjust the mirrors, and position the steering wheel before driving.
Your workspace deserves the same attention.

How much does movement matter compared with having the “perfect” ergonomic setup? Can staying in one supposedly good position for hours still cause problems?
