Occupational therapists praise Botanic Niche ergonomic hand-tools
Botanic Niche are the pioneers of the Ergonomic Shaft Concept. The basic function of the Botanic Niche Ergonomic Hand-Tools design is to promote less bending of the back and share the load more evenly throughout the worker’s body. This results in a significantly improved working posture, which will reduce the injuries associated with bending, lifting and rotation.
