Event Details
The Recent Graduate & Students Study Club will be hosting this event but is open to all Dentists. This session is designed for students and young dentists’ offering techniques to improve their career longevity.
EVENT Overview
Learn about biomechanical design and mindfulness based calming techniques to improve your career longevity.
The incidence of chronic pain is alarming in dentistry, especially among young dentists.
Most treatments for occupational chronic pain are symptom oriented instead of the cause, providing only short-term pain relief.
Most dental students don’t learn how to bend over patients without compromising their neck, back and shoulders. Consequently, most dentists bend and twist in harmful ways for long periods in the clinic.
Complex treatments, anxious patients and time pressure can be stressful, especially for young dentists. This webinar will focus on strategies to reduce occupational chronic pain and stress.

Dr Anikó Ball
B.D.Sc.(Melb), Dip. Clin. Hypnosis, Adv. Dip. Alexander Studies, Founder Optimum Dental Posture
Practising in Melbourne, Australia for over thirty years, Anikó suffered frequently from 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 to recognise and change harmful work postures by applying bio-mechanical design principles. She founded Optimum Dental Posture to save her colleagues from suffering occupational chronic pain.
Anikó has been a presenter at Australian Dental Association Congresses, CPD courses and group meetings.
Trained in mind-body calming techniques and Inner Ergonomics, Anikó trains dentists and their teams around Australia and NZ how to reduce occupational chronic pain and stress. Her vision is the integration of ‘Inner Ergonomics & Wellness’ training in dental schools.
