Whether you’re experiencing discomfort at your desk, recovering from an injury, or looking to prevent future strain, our occupational therapists provide personalized ergonomic assessments to help you work more comfortably.
Why Ergonomic Assessments Matter
Poor workstation setups, repetitive strain, and prolonged sitting can lead to pain, injury, and reduced productivity. Our ergonomic evaluations help adults:
- Alleviate neck, back, shoulder, and wrist pain
- Improve posture and workspace alignment
- Prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSIs)
- Meet workplace or insurance requirements for return-to-work
