Musculoskeletal Assessment and Treatment of Injury and Pain

Physiotherapy is a professional natural medical treatment option. Ergoworks Physiotherapists are highly trained in the assessment and management of physical dysfunction manifesting in pain or injury. The primary focus of Ergoworks Physiotherapy is the restoration of function through physical means - either manual therapy treatment or exercise programs. Our Physiotherapists assess and diagnose the problem, then plan and administer treatment programs that aim to restore function, reduce pain or minimise dysfunction after injury.

Office Ergonomics

Ergonomic Evaluation of individual workstations:

An Ergoworks office evaluation involves an analysis of an individual workstation as well as the abilities and limitations of the person using the station. The analysis includes recommendations of how to encourage a working posture that will minimize injury and pain to the worker and maximize system productivity. The report will include contacts for any equipment required and an ongoing preventative program for the individual assessed.

Office Furniture and Equipment analysis

Ergoworks can analyse your office furniture and equipment. There is a wide variety of Ergonomic furniture and equipment on the market and it may be difficult to be certain that the equipment will suit everyone in your office or workplace. A review of your office furniture and equipment will help you make the right decisions when you are investing in adapting workstations or purchasing new furniture and chairs.

Educational Services

Educational seminars on office ergonomics and workstation set up are available to complement other Ergoworks services by providing employees with the knowledge they need to prevent musculoskeletal problems through early identification, exercise and good work station or environmental set-up.

Ergonomic Analysis of Work

Ergoworks consultants will perform a detailed study of the loads, frequencies and demands of any job, along with an analysis of the risks for injury. Recommendations on how to minimise these risks are included in the report. This might include suggestions for a change in equipment, workflow or handling techniques. The report may also include recommendations for an exercise program for workers involved in the specified job demands.
