On-site or virtual ergonomic evaluations to optimise your workstation and prevent occupational injuries.
- Evidence-based treatment
- Personalised recovery plan
- Non-surgical approach

Introduction
You spend a third of your life at work. An improperly set up workstation is a major cause of repetitive strain injuries, neck pain, and lower back issues.
Workplace Ergonomic Assessments is one of our specialized programs under our Wellness services.
Why It Matters
- Incorrect desk or chair height
- Monitors positioned too low or too high
- Poor keyboard and mouse placement
- Lack of lumbar support in seating
- Prolonged static postures without breaks
Signs You Could Benefit
- Neck, shoulder, or back pain that worsens throughout the workday
- Eye strain and headaches
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or wrists (Carpal Tunnel symptoms)
- General fatigue by the end of the day
- Decreased productivity due to discomfort
How It Helps
We adjust your physical environment to fit your body, rather than forcing your body to adapt to the environment. This immediately reduces the physical stress of your workday.
Our Approach
Comprehensive workstation evaluation (on-site or virtual)
Immediate adjustments to chair, desk, and monitor heights
Recommendations for ergonomic equipment (if necessary)
Education on micro-breaks and desk stretches

Workplace Ergonomic Assessments vs Standard Care
While standard care often focuses merely on symptom relief through medication or rest, our specialized workplace ergonomic assessments targets the root biomechanical cause. We combine evidence-based interventions with active rehabilitation to not only eliminate pain but also prevent it from returning, ensuring a more sustainable and functional recovery.
Why Choose Us
Our assessments are conducted by physiotherapists who understand the biomechanical impact of poor ergonomics, ensuring the adjustments made provide genuine clinical benefit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer assessments for entire offices?
Yes, we offer corporate packages to assess multiple workstations and provide group seminars on workplace health and ergonomics.
Can a standing desk solve my back pain?
Not necessarily. While changing postures is good, standing all day comes with its own set of issues. We recommend a sit-stand approach and will teach you how to use it correctly.
