Learn to Sit,

Workplace Ergonomic Center Program
Located in Manhattan's Union Square, NYC
The Ergonomic Center provides individualized workstation assessments with practical hands-on posture, alignment, and movement coaching. Our goal is to help patients feel and work better by creating a dynamic workspace and teaching proper sitting and standing mechanics.
We are partnered with Creative Office Pavilion to offer a wide array of Herman Miller Chairs, Desks, and Technology support.
A Three-Step Approach
We begin with a 45 minute evaluation. This ergonomic assessment is the basis of our program and informs our recommendations.
Workplace Assessment
An assessment of current workspace and work tools using detailed photos — side profile, behind view, and wide angle that includes the entire work area.
Sitting and Standing Evaluation
A JFPT therapist will assess your sitting and standing posture, movement tendencies, and daily pain points. Special attention is directed to the work environment and its effects on alignment, core connection, and upper/lower extremity position.
Recommendation
Patients are coached on how to create a more dynamic workplace promoting healthier posture, better alignment, and efficiency. Each patient is educated on chair and desk dynamics, monitor position, and how to customize their setup.
