What is an Ergonomic Assessment?
An ergonomic assessment is a one-on-one evaluation of your workspace, posture, and daily work habits. Your occupational therapist will:
- Review your workstation setup (desk, chair, monitor, keyboard, etc.)
- Observe your posture and movement patterns during work tasks
- Identify risk factors for pain, strain, or injury
- Recommend personalized adjustments and equipment to support your comfort and productivity
Who can benefit from an Ergonomic Assessment?
An ergonomic assessment can help anyone who spends significant time at a desk, computer, or workstation. It is especially helpful for:
- Office workers experiencing neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Individuals working from home without a proper desk setup
- People recovering from injury who need to return to work safely
- Employees with repetitive strain injuries
What can I Expect After an Assessment?
At the end of your ergonomic assessment, you’ll receive a personalized plan with practical recommendations. This may include:
- Adjustments to desk height, chair position, or monitor placement
- Personalized suggestions for supportive equipment
- Education on posture, movement breaks, and energy conservation strategies
- A step-by-step plan to reduce strain and improve comfort during your workday
The goal is to help you work smarter, not harder, while protecting your long-term health.
