Reviews for DIY Ergonomics: Live Pain-Free and Save Money Irma is one of the most practical, fun and optimistic people I have worked with. Her academic knowledge and extensive experience as an Occupational Therapist make her the ideal author for a book on office ergonomics. DIY Ergonomics: Live Pain-Free and Save Money is an excellent resource and reads like you are having a friendly conversation with a wise and trusted advisor over tea. With Irma's sound advice, easy to understand recommendations and affordable solutions there are no excuses to not have good office ergonomics or to live and work in pain! Louise Taylor, Physiotherapist Calgary, Alberta I've had the great luck of working with Irma in real life, so I know she's a pro at ergonomics. This book is a pure joy, a reminder of how to keep my body safe, and you can't go wrong with adorable stick figures. DIY Ergonomics is the most cost-effective investment you can make in your health. Victoria Smith, Writer and Blogger Calgary, Alberta This book is very informative for both new occupational therapy graduates as well as anyone wanting to increase their knowledge in ergonomics. The author is very knowledgeable and demonstrates how to create functional environments to prevent injuries in the home and at work. Nushabah Zakir, Occupational Therapist Vancouver, British Columbia I've been completing ergonomic assessments for over 15 years and Irma accomplishes something I didn't think possible - to teach computer related ergonomic risks and solutions in a format that even a child can understand. If this book was part of the public school reading curriculum, no doubt millions would be saved in the health care system. Jason Dalton, Occupational Therapist St. John's, Newfoundland DIY Ergonomics is a highly readable book and is exactly what it sets out to be!! It's written in a friendly and chatty style and yet it remains incredibly informative, easy to follow and understand. It also includes extremely useful troubleshooting and equipment guides and amusing 'stick men' diagrams to illustrate some of the author's points. The author is extremely knowledgeable about her topic and presents this clearly along with helpful advice and guidance. She also applies her recommendations to all age groups and any level of budget. I have already started to make some adjustments to my own positioning when seated at the desk or table! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in making positive changes to reduce the risk of discomfort and injury at work or study.
