Workplace Assessments
Our workplace assessments can support employees returning to work and the advice within the completed report can help both the employee and employer. We can also complete workplace assessment for employees who are currently at work but having issues they feel they need additional support for. A physiotherapist will assess your working environment, posture, and daily tasks. You’ll receive practical advice and adjustments to improve comfort, reduce injury risk, and support long-term health.
DSE Assessment
A DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessment looks at how your workstation is set up, including your chair, desk, screen, and posture. The aim is to reduce strain and prevent issues such as neck, back, or wrist pain. This can be completed within their normal working environment at their desk whether this be in the office or at their home. Advice and changes could be made within the assessment itself and then a written report will detail any further advice and information required for the employer if necessary.
