Sonographers have been the focus of documenting work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The literature has focused on self-reported survey data, which point to more than 80% of sonographers performing their jobs in pain. However, few intervention studies have been designed to address these risks. A pre-post pre-experimental design was employed, and longitudinal data were collected from a cohort of first-year sonography students (n = 12). Three groups of participants (n = 4 each) were exposed to a combination of ergonomics education and mind-body techniques. Analysis of survey data did not demonstrate statistically significant changes across any of the groups. However, participants who specifically practiced mindful sonography yoga and cueing indicated an improvement in mental health, stress level, and right upper extremity pain. Posture was improved with biofeedback training, while participants who used both biofeedback training and mindful sonography yoga and cueing demonstrated even greater improvement in posture.
