What is it?
If you are looking for a workstation assessment in Limerick, our trained experts are here to help you. A workstation assessment is a dual examination of the person’s workspace and their musculoskeletal health. As trained physiotherapists and ergonomic experts, we are specifically checking for any ergonomic issues in the workspace or the worker’s activity which might be contributing to pain or problems, or have the potential to do so. Our goal is to identify any risk factors and give you practical solutions to address and resolve them.
What is involved?
An experienced physiotherapist will listen to the person’s history to learn more about their work duties, working pattern, workstation set-up, medical history, activity, pain and goals. We will ask the person to show us their workstation on the video-call so that we can identify any ergonomic issues. We will use all of this information, combined with our clinical knowledge, to identify any factors that are causing or have the potential to cause pain or injury. We are here to support you and your company in making sure that the workstation is safe and suitable for use, and in-keeping with HSA guidelines.
After the initial consultation, the person will receive an individualised plan to complete, which may include stretches, strengthening, postural changes, changes to their workstation set-up or lifestyle changes. Follow up appointments are recommended by the physiotherapist only if necessary; these would help determine the course of treatment, and progress the person’s rehab.
How about remote workers?
Online (video) workstation assessments are also available.
