OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Our physiotherapists have special expertise in ergonomics, occupational rehabilitation and the prevention and treatment of work related injuries.

ERGONOMICS

Designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.

Ergonomics is about analysing work demands and matching these to the physical capacity of the worker to minimise the risk of injury and maximise productivity.
