Unlocking the Power of Ergonomics: A Path to Healthier Living

In a world filled with the demands of modern life, our physical well-being often takes a backseat. At HELIX Performance Physical Therapy, we believe that prioritizing ergonomics is not just a luxury but a necessity for a healthier and more productive life.

Join us on a journey to explore the world of ergonomics, discover its significance in the workplace, and learn how it can positively impact your overall health. Take charge of your well-being today! Contact us at (925) 222-5101 to schedule.

From reducing the risk of workplace injuries to enhancing overall well-being in various aspects of life, ergonomics plays a pivotal role. The staggering $170 billion spent annually by U.S. companies on occupational injuries underscores the need for a proactive approach to health and safety. From cervical strain to carpal tunnel syndrome, many workplace injuries are linked to poor ergonomics and improper workspace setup.

Ergonomics is not limited to office spaces; it permeates every aspect of our lives. HELIX Performance Physical Therapy emphasizes cultivating a healthy awareness of ergonomics in daily activities, from driving to playing sports. Understanding and applying ergonomic principles contribute to a life free from unnecessary pain and discomfort.

Can’t say enough about Wes

I hurt my leg training for a marathon and after working with him a few months, my leg feels GREAT! I just got home from a trip to Europe that I was a little worried about. I felt 100% the 2nd or 3rd day in Paris - maybe it was the 12-13 miles we were walking every day, maybe it was the French bread/wine, maybe it was both. Since i've been back, i've been riding my (indoor) bike too, just trying to get my leg stronger (still going to the gym, still doing my exercises).

THANK YOU for all of your efforts, your knowledge, your patience. I couldn't have done it without your guidance. And it is 100000% appreciated.

John K.

Skilled and very engaging

I found Wes while he was at Diablo PT via Yelp when I needed help with severe sciatic pain. I was able to schedule sessions with Wes and was amazed at his knowledge, skill and very engaging personality.

At no time did I ever feel that I was getting a "cookie cutter" problem. He listens very well and works with you as an individual to provide exactly what you need.

I can't say enough good things about Wes and how much he helped me fully recover and get even better than I was before my injury.

James F.

I feel better each time I leave

Wes Anderson is one of the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is professional, bright, explains everything he is doing to strengthen my body, and I feel better each time I leave. He does not just give you a massage. He is breaking down tight muscles and gives me more flexibility and movement.

No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care

I highly recommend Wes in Danville. Before going to Wes I had gone to several other places. Wes is, hands down, the one of the best. I saw him at his old clinic in Danville Diablo Physical Therapy. No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care.

Super detail oriented

Wes is awesome. Very knowledgeable and supportive.

Super detail oriented, reviewed my surgery notes and stick with me through each rep to make sure I'm doing it right. Hands down the best PT experience l've ever had.

Makes the process a vastly easier therapy

Wes puts a lot of attention into the process, and keeps you involved with his great sense of humor. Though the exercises can be arduous, he makes the process a vastly easier therapy.
