ABOUT ANIKO
Practising in general dentistry, periodontics and dental sleep medicine for over thirty years, Anikó suffered frequent neck, back and shoulder pain. Doctors and physical therapists offered short-term symptom relief without identifying her condition as work related.
Anikó recovered when she learned about biomechanical design, and how to recognize and change harmful work postures by applying the Inner Ergonomic principles of the Alexander Technique.
With the intention of saving her colleagues from suffering occupational chronic pain, Anikó undertook a 1600-hour in-person training course at the Melbourne Alexander School and founded Optimum Dental Posture after translating the Inner Ergonomic principles for dental industry specific application.
Anikó has been a presenter at Australian and New Zealand Dental Association Congress/Conference events and CPD courses. Trained in mind-body calming techniques and Inner Ergonomics, she provides training in ‘Ergonomics & Wellness in Dentistry’ Workshops and ‘In-house Ergonomic Training’ as well as ‘Stress Management in the Clinic’ for the whole dental team.
Anikó’s vision is the integration of ‘Inner Ergonomics & Wellness’ training in dental schools as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of occupational chronic pain.
