Ergonomics
Services
Enhance your recovery with a secure and comfortable work set up
Are you strugglingto find the right solution for your workstation needs?
A workstation assessment is a detailed risk evaluation of a person’s office/home workstation, typically conducted if a person is experiencing discomfort, pain or has sustained an injury. Ergonomic assessments can reduce costs, improve productivity and employee engagement, and create a better safety culture.
Why is Ergonomics important?
According to Safe Work Australia, the total economic cost of work-related injuries and illnesses is estimated to be $60 billion dollars. Recent research has identified lower back pain as the world’s most common work-related disability, significantly affecting office workers.
At West Ryde Physiotherapy we provide tailored ergonomic solutions that allow organisations to improve the health and well-being of their staff.
Our expert physiotherapists have a strong background in treating all musculoskeletal conditions and are able to meet our clients’ needs through applying their knowledge to ergonomics.
We are currently offering the following services
Comprehensive Individual Office/ Home Assessments
A comprehensive consultation (virtually or face-to-face) with one of our qualified health physiotherapists, lasting approximately 30-45 minutes per person. This includes an assessment of musculoskeletal issues of the employee, an evaluation of the full workstation set-up, and of the home environment with safety considerations when assessed at home. Following the evaluation, a detailed report will be furnished, outlining any identified problems and offering recommendations to ensure the employee is set up safely and ergonomically.
