Ergonomics & Thrive w/ Cindy Purdy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode, I talk with Cindy Purdy about all things ergonomics, including awareness, creating change, signs vs symptoms of disease, practical things we can do to alleviate or prevent pain, and the Thrive! Ergonomic and Wellness Summit.
Cindy Purdy is a Registered Dental Hygienist and Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist (CEAS) who specializes in improving the health and performance of dental professionals through creating safe in-office workstations. Cindy is a nationally known speaker and is the creator and force behind THRIVE! a Wellness and Therapeutic Summit for Dental Professionals. This 2 ½ day summit brings together ergonomic and medical specialists to help dental professionals enhance stamina & vitality, elevate performance, and inspire purposeful living—all while peeling away misconceived ideas relating to positioning, posture, and productivity.
