Start with the pillar

Anchor your wellness plan with the Stylist Wellness & Career Longevity guide. It connects ergonomics, stretching routines, and ROI calculations into one workflow.

Core focus areas

Ergonomic setup

• Run through the ergonomic foundations checklist before every column.
• Match handle geometry to your hand with the ergonomics reference.

RSI prevention

• Follow the RSI prevention playbook to spot early warning signs.
• Add the stretching routine to your shift changeovers.

Break cadence & recovery

• Adopt the warm-up, micro-breaks, and cool-down schedule.
• Track fatigue signals alongside your maintenance logs so you can correlate edge behaviour with body feedback.

From Experience: Neutral posture plus the right handle geometry is what lets you move from 20 to 30 clients a week without triggering flare-ups. Tool upgrades only work when your body mechanics are dialled in.

Escalation triggers

• Use the when to escalate checklist to know when physio or medical support is essential.
• Document pain patterns and share them with specialists so they can advise on handle changes or workload adjustments.
