Ergonomics is defined as the science of fitting a workplace to a user’s needs. It aims to improve productivity and reduce discomfort in a given work situation.
Good ergonomics allows a person to work in an environment that causes minimal physical strain on the body and is a crucial part of injury prevention. This is important for all of us - no matter what the occupation.
For example, good ergonomics is not only applied to desk based jobs we look at bus drivers, chefs, musicians etc.
We identify and adapt the work environment to suit the individual's needs. At elite we take pride in addressing the whole picture.
At Elite Physiotherapy, we have a particular interest in ergonomics and workplace assessments as we see this as an important part of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme and injury prevention.
Ergonomic and workplace assessments can be arranged on an individual basis or a workshop can be carried out in a group setting.
