As well as advising patients as part of their treatment, our physiotherapists are trained to visit patients in their workplace or advise whole companies as to the most ergonomically suitable working arrangements.

• Assessments are conducted of individuals at their workstation. A detailed history of the condition is taken along with measurements and photographs. A report is provided which gives recommendations based on the observations made during the assessment and which may include advice on restriction of duties and job modification. Advice is usually given on ergonomic equipment if appropriate.
• We can assess larger work areas and sometimes it is necessary to make a general “walk round”. This is particularly relevant in a factory environment where using video cameras to record individuals carrying out various tasks and their working postures can be helpful.
