Ergonomic Assessment

Ergonomic assessment is a systematic evaluation of how your work environment, daily activities, and movement patterns contribute to musculoskeletal strain and injury. Poor ergonomics is a leading cause of workplace-related neck pain, back pain, repetitive strain injuries, and chronic discomfort.

At Actilife Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive ergonomic assessments for office workers, industrial workers, healthcare professionals, and individuals with home-based workstations. Our goal is to identify risk factors and recommend practical modifications that reduce injury risk and improve comfort and productivity.

What an Ergonomic Assessment Includes

Workstation Analysis: Evaluation of desk height, chair adjustment, monitor position, keyboard and mouse placement, and lighting to ensure proper alignment.

Posture Assessment: Analysis of your sitting and standing posture, identifying deviations that contribute to muscle strain and joint stress.

Movement Pattern Analysis: Evaluation of repetitive movements, lifting techniques, and work habits that may be causing cumulative trauma.

Recommendations: Detailed, practical recommendations for equipment adjustments, workstation reorganisation, micro-break schedules, and stretching programmes.
