Ergonomic Assessment

Poor office ergonomics are frequently the underlying cause of headaches, neck, back and shoulder pain, and repetitive strain injuries, losing many hours of productivity for visits to doctors and therapists. 

sportsperformance physiotherapy offers an ergonomic assessment service, visiting companies to assess workstations and raise awareness amongst staff of what constitutes good office ergonomics. A powerpoint presentation educates staff on the position of the monitor and correct use of the chair, mouse and keyboard, following which, individual workstations are assessed and adjusted to suit the user. A digital “before and after” photograph is taken to remind the user of the adjusted ideal work position, compared with how they used to sit and work.
