Comments on the ergonomics of the physiotherapist’s work and suggestions on cooperation with other members of the therapeutic team and people from the patient’s close environment (family, friends)

Adhering to ergonomic principles when working with individuals who are overweight is a crucial aspect in preventing injuries among physiotherapists due to significant strains. It is important to consider the use of therapeutic tables that allow for height adjustment and the repositioning of individual sections based on the need, in order to avoid exposing the therapist to prolonged periods in constrained positions. Physiotherapists working with individuals who are overweight should also maintain regular communication with a healthcare professional responsible for the individual’s health to stay informed about any potential contraindications to therapy.
