Mission Zero!
Our goal is simple - zero workplace injuries for our clients.

​It might sound ambitious, but we believe it is absolutely possible to eliminate workplace injuries. Prevention is always better than a cure and we're here to help our clients make this a reality, with considered recommendations and advice, and engaging employee education and training. 
Jordan Lees is the Director of The Ergonomic Physio. 

Jordan has 13 years experience as a Workplace Physiotherapist.

Jordan started his career as a private practice physiotherapist before being introduced to the world of occupational health by a colleague. It wasn't long before Jordan had left the clinic setting to pursue his interest in helping organisations prevent and management workplace injuries.

Frequently sought-after as an expert and presenter on workplace injury matters, Jordan has personally performed over 7000 ergonomic assessments and delivered hundreds of training sessions for clients around Australia. 

Ergonomic Assessments Melbourne

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

​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 and additional services that we offer:

Ergonomic Workshops & Ergonomic Training

We offer two types of ergonomics training sessions - one providing employees with ergonomic education, and one for HR/OHS looking to up-skill to be able to perform ergonomic assessments in-house. 

Our Ergonomic Workshops / Employee Education is the ideal option to provide all of your staff with an overview of how to set up their workstation ergonomically, as well as provide valuable injury prevention and wellbeing education. Learn more about our ergonomics workshops here. 

Our Ergonomics Training for HR/OHS team leaders is aimed at providing key staff members with the knowledge to be better able to identify ergonomic risks and perform preventive ergonomic assessments on your employees. Think of this type of session as ergonomic assessment training, where we will guide you through the process of performing an ergonomic assessment and making workstation changes step-by-step. Learn more about our ergonomics training sessions here. 

Manual Handling Training Melbourne

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.

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
