Still Have Questions?

Contact Us

  • How often should I have an Ergonomic Assessment?

    While there's no set rule, it's generally recommended to have an ergonomic assessment whenever you make significant changes to your workspace or start a new job. 


    Regular check-ups, such as annually or bi-annually, can also be beneficial to ensure your workspace continues to support your health and productivity. 


    For clients in Newcastle and surrounding areas, our team is readily available to provide these assessments at your convenience.

  • What changes may be suggested after an Ergonomic Assessment?

    Changes after an ergonomic assessment are unique to each individual, considering their specific work environment and tasks. 


    Adjustments may be recommended for your chair height, desk setup, monitor positioning, keyboard and mouse placement, and even the lighting. We may also suggest introducing ergonomic aids, such as wrist rests or adjustable stands. 


    Most importantly, we educate our clients on maintaining optimal posture and implementing regular breaks to prevent fatigue.

  • Can Ergonomic Assessment help with existing musculoskeletal issues?

    Yes, an ergonomic assessment can be extremely beneficial if you're already experiencing musculoskeletal problems. 


    By identifying and correcting factors that may be contributing to your discomfort or pain, we can help alleviate these symptoms. It's also important to remember that this service is part of a broader treatment approach. 


    Depending on your situation, our team might recommend integrating other services like Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy or Home-Care Service for comprehensive care.

  • Will I need to purchase new equipment after an Ergonomic Assessment?

    Not necessarily. While we may suggest ergonomic aids or furniture upgrades in some cases, many adjustments involve simply rearranging your current setup or adopting healthier work habits. 


    Our goal is to create the most comfortable and productive workspace for you without incurring unnecessary expenses. 


    However, if new equipment is recommended, our ergonomic assessment specialist will help guide you through the decision-making process to ensure your investment supports your well-being and productivity.
