Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomic assessments involve an assessment of an employee at their workstation, followed by relevant workstation adjustments aimed at reducing the risk of injury, improving comfort and productivity. Ergonomic assessments also allow us to provide education to the employee being assessed, as well as provide relevant exercises.

​As qualified Physiotherapists, when we perform ergonomic assessments, we always take into account any injuries or symptoms that your employee reports to us. This ensures that any workstation adjustments or recommendations we provide are tailored specifically to the needs of that employee. 

Please see below for the various types of ergonomic assessments that we offer.


Our ergonomic assessments and ergonomics training are available in the following locations. If your location is not listed, please contact us and we can advise if we can assist you, or point you in the direction of another provider who can.

Manual Handling Training

Manual handling training involves the teaching of best practice manual handling techniques, aimed at reducing the risk of injury from manual handling tasks performed in the workplace. 

As physiotherapists, we understand how the body works and how injuries develop. As such, whilst we do teach your employees the best manual handling techniques for injury prevention, we also teach them how to understand their body and how to recognise when physical stresses are accumulating. This understanding then enables your employees to prevent little niggles developing into fully fledged injuries. 

We deliver our manual handling training sessions onsite at your workplace. Our training sessions are practical and highly interactive, not a powerpoint presentation.

Our manual handling training courses are available in the following locations. If your location is not listed, please contact us and we can advise if we can assist you, or point you in the direction of another provider who can.

Recently we have had Jordan from The Ergonomic Physio come out and do both ergonomic assessments for our admin team and manual handling training for all of our educators. Not only is Jordan professional, knowledgeable and thorough, he also came up with innovative ideas and solutions when working with our team, who have different manual handling needs, as they work with children and not in an office. Jordan then supported us with sourcing the best equipment to meet our needs. On top of all of this Jordan is also extremely friendly and personable. I couldn’t recommend him and The Ergonomic Physio highly enough
