Ergonomic Assessments
We help prevent injury, reduce discomfort, and improve productivity. Whether a client is returning to work or trying to stay at work, we tailor ergonomic strategies to support real-world tasks.

-
We identify physical risk factors in a job or workstation. This includes force, repetition, awkward posture, and duration. You receive a report with specific, actionable changes that support both recovery and prevention.
-
We teach clients how to avoid overuse injuries by adjusting how they move, work, and rest. We target early signs of strain and build sustainable routines to reduce flare-ups and setbacks.
-
We train clients in safe lifting and movement techniques. This is essential for physically demanding roles. We focus on practical, job-specific strategies that clients can use right away.
-
We help clients change how they sit, stand, bend, and reach to reduce strain and pain. Whether it’s desk work or physical labour, we tailor the training to match their job and body.
-
We assess and adjust desk setups, including chair height, monitor position, and keyboard placement. We make changes on-site or virtually, and provide a clear setup plan for future reference.
-
We recommend tools or changes that reduce physical load. This might include anti-fatigue mats, adjustable work surfaces, or alternate tools for grip or reach. Modifications are based on job demands and client needs.
-
We prescribe and teach proper use of supports that help with posture, lifting, or task repetition. This includes forearm supports, footrests, lifting aids, and more, all matched to the individual’s function and role.
-
We assess how much a person can safely lift, carry, push, or pull based on their job. Results help guide ergonomic changes, return-to-work planning, or decisions about modified duties.
