Information for Individuals
Do you have aches or niggles when working at your workstation?
Do those aches or niggles linger on once the work day is over?
Have you had treatment for discomfort that is not resolving it fully?
Ergonomics can help!
A thorough evaluation of your workstation set up and work tasks and patterns can often uncover stresses on the body which can cause discomfort and lead to damage to our musculoskeletal tissues.
This can lead to long term damage if neglected.
Often small simple adjustments and habit/pattern changes can reduce discomfort significantly and eliminate it altogether.
Get assessed before the occasional niggle turns into frequent pain that lasts and lasts causing suffering and expensive medical and therapy requirements.

What is Ergonomics?
Ergonomics is a branch of science that aims to learn about human abilities and limitations, and then apply this learning to improve people’s interaction with products, systems and environments. It is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they fit the humans who use them.
Ergonomics aims to improve workspaces and environments to minimise risk of injury or harm.
The science of fitting a workplace to the user’s needs, Ergonomics aims to increase efficiency and productivity and reduce discomfort, in particular Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).
