It is not easy to give tips without having actually seen your space, but here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. With a room size of 10 x 8, make sure to leave plenty of space to move around all sides of the chair. This is one of the areas that I see many people make errors and try to put too much into the room. This reduces the movement area around the chairs which can prohibit one's ability to work on all sides of the patient. This is very important in reducing and eliminating repetitive use injuries. 2. Look at the lighting in the room. Using indirect lighting you want to create good illumination but do not want to blind your patient. The operating lamp should suffice to give you the direct task lighting required. 3. What is in the room for patients to look at when they aren't receiving treatment? You don't want your patients to sit in the room and become bored. When they do, they start fixating on problems and becoming agitated. If you can't hook up video monitors for showing movies, then at least try to hang pleasant artwork or place interesting art pieces on shelves about the room. This breaks up some of the monotony for the patient. I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask! james Dr Surendran,
