Ann Grassel is president of The PowerBoard Company(www.thepowerboard.com) and a licensed physical therapist with 27 years of experience. She received degrees in physical therapy from Northwestern University Medical School and in physiology from the University of Illinois.

Ann's specialty is sports medicine and movement re-education, including work as a trainer/therapist at the 1984 Summer Olympics. She now focuses on computer workstation ergonomics.

When Ann performs evaluations, she sees the body as a whole. She teaches her clients how they can use movement re-education, bodywork, strengthening, and stretching to change the holding and postural patterns that often contribute to pain and injury. She teaches people how to use their bodies in a powerful and supported way and then how to modify the ergonomics of their environment to support and maintain these changes.

Ann wants to educate people to use computers at home and at work without injuring their bodies.
