CORPORATE AMERICA OFFICE SYNDROME

Corporate America Office Syndrome (CAOS)

What is Corporate America Office Syndrome (C.A.O.S.)®?

C.A.O.S.® is a repetitive stress injury that overloads the upper body from continual movements or long periods of inactivity due to work and/or home responsibilities.

C.A.O.S.® is a syndrome that has very specific and uniform signs and symptoms. It is very unique to Corporate America however, certainly not limited to the corporate setting. What ties this unique syndrome to the corporate world is the direct association with improper office ergonomics or the incorrect position(s) of the workplace setting.
