Ergonomics in Dermatologic Procedures: Mobility Exercises to Incorporate In and Out of the Office.

Dermatologists-particularly dermatologic surgeons-commonly experience neck, shoulder, and back pain due to prolonged static positions and repetitive motions inherent in their practice. Musculoskeletal injuries not only can impact career longevity and satisfaction but also can affect the quality of patient care provided. We highlight mobility techniques and exercises that dermatologic surgeons can incorporate both in and outside the procedure room to reduce pain and prevent future injuries.
