Ergonomic Assessment Services

Poor ergonomic work practices or poorly designed workstations can play a significant role in the development of many preventable musculoskeletal disorders including:

• Neck and back pain
• Shoulder and arm pain
• Headaches
• Repetitive injury strains

Office ergonomics can help you be more comfortable at work, lower stress, and reduce the chance of injuries caused by awkward positions and repetitive tasks. If you sit at your desk in an awkward position or for a long period, you may suffer pain, discomfort or an injury. Typical injuries include sprains and strains of the neck, back, shoulders, wrists or hands.

In order to minimise these risks, it is important to have a good workstation design, layout and setup as well as having a variety of tasks and opportunities to move around throughout the day.

How we can help:
As physiotherapists, we can help identify areas that can be better optimised to reduce your risk of ergonomic related injury. We understand the human body and can help to tailor the needs for each individual based on each person’s needs.

We can make recommendations on specific equipment changes that could be implemented as well as provide education on how to help alleviate aches and pains throughout the working day.
