Workstation Assessment
What is it?
What is involved?
An experienced physiotherapist will listen to the person’s history to learn more about their work duties, working pattern, workstation set-up, medical history, activity, pain and goals. We will ask the person to show us their workstation on the video-call so that we can identify any ergonomic issues. We will use all of this information, combined with our clinical knowledge, to identify any factors that are causing or have the potential to cause pain or injury. We are here to support you and your company in making sure that the workstation is safe and suitable for use, and in-keeping with HSA guidelines.
After the initial consultation, the person will receive an individualised plan to complete, which may include stretches, strengthening, postural changes, changes to their workstation set-up or lifestyle changes. Follow up appointments are recommended by the physiotherapist only if necessary; these would help determine the course of treatment, and progress the person’s rehab.
