Ergo Sherpa
Where is your discomfort?
Physicians are trained to care for others — but rarely taught to care for themselves in the OR. Ergo Sherpa changes that.
Three steps. No login. Works from your phone during any break in the day.
Use the interactive body map to tap exactly where you feel discomfort — neck, lower back, shoulder, jaw, eye strain, and more.
Learn the ergonomic root causes behind your pain — from monitor height and loupes fit to surgical posture and operating table position.
Receive curated stretches and strengthening exercises with video guidance — designed specifically for proceduralists, not generic gym advice.
Browse practical, evidence-informed tips for workstation setup, surgical positioning, microbreak strategies, and equipment selection.
Built by a Mohs Surgeon
MD, FAAD, Associate of the ACMS
Dr. Reid is a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. He completed medical school at the University of Michigan, residency at the University of Iowa, and his Mohs surgery fellowship at Geisinger, where he developed a deep interest in the intersection of procedural technique and long-term physician health.
Growing up with a physical therapist for a mother, proper posture and body mechanics were never optional in his household. When he entered medicine, he was struck by how little formal ergonomics education exists in training programs — despite musculoskeletal injury rates as high as 90% among Mohs surgeons. Ergo Sherpa is his way of sharing the practical techniques he has honed over years of surgical practice.
