How It Works
For Individuals
For Individuals
Are you an Entrepreneur, Gig Worker, Independent Contractor, or Self- Employed Individual?
Unique in personality. Unique in skill set. Physically unique.
Michelle Wyemura Parker understands what it’s like to have unique strengths. She integrates ergonomics and healthcare together. Therefore, her approach is so much more effective than a typical “ergonomic assessment.” Her individualized process has four main components:
Communicate
Direct, candid communication with you. Michelle knows the right questions to ask to get honest and accurate answers regarding the “whole person.”
- What is your typical energy level?
- How does your energy level vary throughout the work day?
- What type of work spaces do you generally use?
- When away from work, are you typically sedentary or physically active? What is the nature of your activities? (Walking, Gardening, Yoga, Cycling, Cooking, Martial Arts, Knitting, Hiking etc.)
With this essential background information, Michelle will begin to craft a strategy that effectively addresses your goals for increased health, comfort, efficiency, and life goals.
Observe
Observing you in your work space. Michelle will watch as you perform physical movements which are routine (and/or not so routine) in your current space(s). She carefully examines how you interact with your current office or home-office setup, equipment and layout. She analyzes how your posture varies with different tasks.
Advice
Individualized advice and treatment. This may include adjustments to your home-office space and equipment, how you interact with it, and recommendations for developing habits that eliminates discomfort and strain. Occasionally, she may recommend new or updated equipment.
Analysis/Recommendations
Written analysis, recommendations, and follow-up. You will receive a detailed analysis outlining Michelle’s observations and recommendations. You will be given the opportunity to provide input. When appropriate, Michelle will schedule follow-up visits to monitor the rate and effectiveness of her plan.
