Ergonomics is the study of people in their workplace and the process in which workplaces, products, and systems are designed or rearranged so that they fit the people who use them.

The goal of ergonomics is to reduce the risk of harm by optimizing the work environment so that your body suits your workstation, not the other way around.

Occupational and physical therapy both fall within the rehabilitative sciences and share many similarities, however, there are distinct differences in the approach each takes with a patient's rehabilitative care. An Occupational Therapist focuses on improving the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living or work, while a Physical Therapist focuses on improving the patient's ability to move their body.

Occupational therapy treatment is centered around adapting, modifying, or changing daily activities that a person is required or wants to do. OTs do this by altering the activity, environment, or the skills of the person and patient education.

Physical therapy treatment focuses on movement to optimize quality of life. This is done through hands-on care, prescribed exercises and patient education.
