With advancing technology and increased automation, individuals are spending more time at their computer workstation. The corresponding increase in prolonged sitting and static work subjects the body to additional strain and as a consequence health and safety issues have become a real concern.

The service is designed to facilitate easy referral and fast turn around of reports and is quality assured. Assessments are performed by physiotherapists with post graduate experience and qualifications in occupational health or ergonomics. Many are registered ergonomists.
