Helping people worldwide reduce pain & better in business and life.

Dr. Naomi Abrams, OTR/L, CEAS (Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, Nationally Registered and State Licensed to practice Occupational Therapy, Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist)


She is one of the leading experts in improving productivity by avoiding pain caused by poor posture. Many call her The Posture Doctor.


Bad posture, and the pain it causes, leads to poor profits.


Good posture leads to great profits!


"I don't like pain...You don't like pain... Nobody likes pain. When you are in pain you can't do your best." Dr. Abrams


Now more than ever employees are complaining of back pain, neck pain, and arm pain from bad posture. They are sitting at the computer, sitting in traffic, working on tablets, and stuck to their phones. Doctors visits are increasing taking people away from their work. US companies are losing $1 Billion per week to workplace injuries.


She is the keynote speaker and consultant known around the world as the noted expert who helps employees develop new thinking to be able to learn how to prevent injury and improve posture to decrease pain.


Dr. Abrams strives to teach everyone that preventing injury is an attainable goal! Her easy to follow approach that breaks posture and ergonomics into steps everyone can follow puts the power of injury prevention into the hands of the managers and employees.


According to Dr. Abrams, equipment shouldn't be the focus. Owners and executives are often afraid of the word "ergonomics" because they associate it with spending money on things that don't work. Research and proven results back up Dr. Abrams' approach.
Her own published research shows that her clients average a decline of reported discomfort by over 47% within just 2 weeks of intervention. Even more importantly, there is a corresponding increase in productivity equal to that decline in discomfort!


She is not associated with any equipment manufacturers or distributors. She keeps an objective viewpoint -- equipment is only recommended when truly needed.
