What is an Ergonomic Assessment?

An ergonomic assessment is a process that involves evaluating the design and arrangement of a person's workspace and equipment to ensure it is optimized for comfort, efficiency, and safety. The goal of an ergonomic assessment is to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, enhance productivity, and improve overall well-being.

At Port Alberni Physiotherapy & Wellness, one of our trained physiotherapists will address your ergonomic needs, whether in a group setting at work or for your own personal use. An on site consultation will highlight areas of inadequacy in equipment, posture, technique and design and suggest ways to improve and prevent injury.

Who should get an Ergonomic Assessment?

Ergonomic assessments are particularly important in office environments where employees spend extended periods looking at a computer or sitting at a desk. However, they can also be applicable in various settings, including manufacturing, healthcare, and other work environments where physical tasks are performed.

To book an appointment, please contact our front desk reception at 250-723-5112 so we can identify your needs and discuss whether a home or workplace visit would be right for you.
