Ergonomics For Home

Ergonomics is the science of fitting the workplace to the worker in order to reduce ill-health and accidents, as well as improve productivity and efficiency.

Home-workers who face intensive computer use and prolonged periods of being stationary can risk injury to the spine and arms. Ergonomic assessments can help to identify the causes of ailments, and provide practical realistic recommendations to reduce them.

How does it work..?

We will generally recommend an ergonomic assessment to you if you have existing conditions or wider health issues/disabilities that may be improved as a result. An assessment is also an ideal way for us to help you to improve your efficiency at work, prevent unnecessary sick leave, or assist return after sickness absence.

As part of your treatment, your physio will look at many of your habits and work practices which can lead to the pain you experience, and can prescribe exercises which work in your set up. We also help you to find the most inexpensive products and solutions to your problems.

How much will this cost?

We offer Ergonomic Assessments in central Edinburgh and most usually take less than an hour.

This is a domiciliary service and is now charged at £80 per hour including travel. If we find you need to have any special equipment, then we recommend Posturite, a Company providing quality ergonomic office solutions. We will provide you with a code which entitles you to a 10% discount on any products you purchase through your Edinburgh Physiotherapy Centre referral.
