Ergonomic Assessment

An ergonomic assessment looks at how you sit, stand, lift, and move during daily work or home tasks. The goal is to spot postures or repetitive motions that place strain on joints, muscles, and nerves, and to suggest adjustments that reduce that strain before pain develops or returns.

What an Assessment Looks At

Workstation Setup — desk, chair, monitor, and keyboard positioning relative to posture.
Movement Patterns — how you reach, bend, lift, or repeat tasks throughout the day.
Body Mechanics — alignment of the spine, shoulders, hips, and wrists during common activities.
Environmental Factors — seating, lighting, and equipment placement that influence strain over time.

Who This Can Help

Office and Desk Workers — addressing neck, shoulder, or wrist discomfort tied to prolonged sitting or typing.
Manual and Physical Laborers — reviewing lifting, carrying, and repetitive-motion tasks.
Those Recovering from Injury — adjusting tasks and setups to support ongoing rehabilitation.
