The Rehabilitation Specialists provide Ergonomic Workstation Assessments as either a preventative measure or to address a specific concern that has been raised by an employee e.g. an injury or area of discomfort.
All of our assessments are completed by qualified health professionals (Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, or Exercise Physiologists) and we focus on providing the employee with the knowledge and skills to independently manage their ergonomic needs at work. Recent evidence has shown that the long term effectiveness of these assessments is dependent on the employee receiving adequate education regarding any ergonomic changes or recommendations that are made, and this is a key component of our services. Rather than simply adjusting the workstation for the employee we ensure that they are aware of ergonomic principles being applied to promote compliance with the recommendations and enable the employee to independently adjust any future workstations that they may use. We also focus on encouraging dynamic positioning and effectively implementing self-management strategies for the employee whenever possible rather than focusing on equipment based solutions.
