Are you spending most of your day sitting in front of a computer screen at home?

Millions of us are now spending more time than ever working in front of our computers, and our bodies are paying the price, especially if your ergonomic workstation assessment hasn’t been done and your workstation is not set up properly. Working at a workstation that is not properly set up for you can lead to neck pain, headaches, back pain and a whole list of issues that can ultimately lead you to become more unproductive when doing your work. In fact, workplace injuries are common even in home office setups, and ignoring ergonomics can increase the risk. 

Don’t let your workstation cause you any more headaches (or backaches!). Get an ergonomic assessment and start feeling better and more productive today!

What Is An Ergonomic Assessment?

An ergonomic assessment, also referred to as an ergonomic workstation assessment, analyses a person’s workstation to ensure it is designed to minimize injury and maximize productivity. The assessments are conducted by physical therapists and assess a number of key factors that can impact your ability to work comfortably. They look at:

  • Physical work demand 
  • Posture 
  • Workstation design and the equipment being used 
  • Keyboard use 
  • Environmental factors such as lighting and noise

Recommendations are made to improve workstations to reduce stress and strain on workers and make them more productive. You can learn more in our blog on What Are the Key Benefits of Ergonomic Assessments?
