Understanding Workplace Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing and arranging workplaces to fit the people who use them. Poor ergonomics can lead to musculoskeletal disorders that affect your health and productivity.

Common workplace issues we address:

• Lower back pain from prolonged sitting
• Neck and shoulder tension from monitor position
• Wrist and hand pain from keyboard and mouse use
• Eye strain and headaches from screen glare
• Leg and hip discomfort from chair height
• Repetitive strain injuries

Our physiotherapists provide practical, evidence-based recommendations to improve your workstation and work habits.
At Tonic Physio Milton, we understand the demands of modern work. Whether you work in an office, from home, or in a physical job, we create ergonomic solutions that fit your specific needs.

How Our Ergonomics Assessment Works

Our workplace ergonomics assessment evaluates your entire work environment and habits to identify areas for improvement.

Our assessment includes:

Workstation Analysis: Evaluation of your desk, chair, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and overall layout for optimal positioning and comfort.
Posture Assessment: Analysis of your sitting and standing posture to identify strain patterns and compensations.
Work Habits Review: Discussion of your daily tasks, break patterns, and movement habits to identify repetitive strain risks.
Practical Recommendations: Specific, actionable advice on equipment adjustments, stretches, exercises, and habit changes to reduce strain.

We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations for your employer or home office setup.
If you are experiencing work-related pain in Milton, Tonic Physio provides expert ergonomics assessment with direct billing to most insurance providers.
