Ergonomic Office Assessments
Many workplace aches and pains develop gradually from poor workstation setup, prolonged sitting and repetitive movements. At Functional Physio SA, we provide Ergonomic Office Assessments for businesses and employees across Torrensville and Adelaide, helping create healthier, more comfortable and productive workspaces.
Whether your team works from the office, home or a combination of both, small ergonomic changes can make a significant difference.
What is an Ergonomic Office Assessment?
An ergonomic assessment is a comprehensive review of an employee’s workstation, work habits and physical posture. Our physiotherapists identify factors that may contribute to discomfort and provide practical recommendations that improve comfort, efficiency and long-term health.
Recommendations may include adjustments to:
- Chair height and lumbar support
- Monitor position
- Desk setup
- Keyboard and mouse placement
- Laptop workstations
- Sitting posture
- Movement and stretching throughout the day
Our recommendations are practical, individualised and easy to implement.
Benefits of an Ergonomic Assessment
An ergonomic assessment may help:
- Reduce neck and back pain
- Improve sitting posture
- Decrease shoulder and wrist discomfort
- Reduce fatigue throughout the workday
- Improve employee comfort and productivity
- Lower the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injuries
Early intervention often prevents minor discomfort from developing into ongoing problems.
Why Choose Functional Physio SA?
As experienced physiotherapists, we understand how the body responds to repetitive work and prolonged sitting. Rather than simply adjusting a chair, we assess the interaction between the person, their workstation and the tasks they perform.
Where appropriate, we also provide advice on stretching, strengthening exercises and healthy work habits to support long-term wellbeing.
