We provide professional ergonomic assessments for home offices, workplaces, and workstations. As a qualified physiotherapist with expertise in musculoskeletal health, we assess your workspace setup and provide practical recommendations to reduce pain, prevent injury, and improve comfort during work.

Whether you're working from home, returning to the office, or experiencing pain related to your work setup, we can help optimize your workspace for better health and productivity.

Keyboard and mouse placement: Positioning to reduce strain
Lighting: Adequate lighting to reduce eye strain

Home office assessments

Working from home presents unique challenges. Kitchen tables, sofas, and makeshift desks can lead to significant discomfort. We specialize in helping home workers create ergonomic setups with whatever space and equipment they have available.

We understand that not everyone has a dedicated office space or budget for expensive equipment. We'll work with what you have and provide practical, affordable solutions.
