Workstation Ergonomic Evaluations

Workstation Ergonomic Evaluations

Ergonomics is the method of helping employees work more efficiently and effectively while reducing musculoskeletal injuries by designing the workstation to conform to their physical and movement needs.

Most Common Areas for evaluation include:

  • Desk height
  • Chair design
  • Location of computer station
  • Layout of workstation
  • Sitting/standing postures of the employee
  • Employee’s movement throughout the workstation
  • Common Musculoskeletal Disorders caused by poor ergonomic environment
  • Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
  • Trigger finger
  • Tendonitis
  • Back/neck pain
  • Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome


Our ergonomics workstation evaluation is performed by our physical therapist or who will assess each employee one-on-one. During the evaluations or physical therapist will:

  • Evaluation the employee’s current workstation setup and their typically physical behaviors
  • Provide recommendations and tips for resolving any ergonomics safety problems
  • Recommend exercises to prevent musculoskeletal injuries

After all employees are evaluated we will provide a report to the employer including:

  • Workstation changes
  • Exercise programs
  • Training and education programs to promote safety and increase productivity
  • Hazardous areas and areas risk.

Testimonies

Corporate Wellness Programs

Hear what a few of our corporate clients have to say about us!

"We first met Don last year when he came on-site to hold a stress reliever exercise session, which was received well by our colleagues.  This past January, Don asked if we were interested to participate in a Team Lean Challenge at no cost to our company.  As part of the Challenge, a nutritionist held consultations with our participants which is covered under the wellness plan with Independence Blue Cross.  We just concluded the Team Lean Challenge and it was a great success!  We had 40 participants which accounts for 30% of our on-site headcount as well as some individuals that were only interested in the nutritionist consultations.  As part of the program, Don visited our offices and laboratory weekly to conduct weekly weigh-in’s and consult with the participants about their exercise activities.  Don is professional, courteous and has a wonderful helpful demeanor—all of this contributed into a very easy wellness program to manage".

"I was just speaking with an account manager in our office this morning who said their client was saying how much they enjoy the newsletter, and the best part is they hear their employees walking around talking about what they read and discussing it with each other.  It’s a good way to be sure people are actually reading it.

Another client had told me how much they enjoy the topics each month, and their favorite part, which you recently added, is the brain teaser. One of the school districts we work with just emailed me the following note yesterday: I share these each month on district wide e-mail!  Get a lot of positive feedback. Another school district sent the following note today: These newsletters are great and the employees really like them!!!!!!!!!

Every client I’ve met with says that they send out the newsletter to their employees every month, which is wonderful!  It seems to grab everyone’s attention". Gallagher Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Wear Comfortable Clothing
Go with loose, stretchy clothes like:

  • Athletic wear
  • Yoga pants or sweatpants
  • A t-shirt or comfortable top

While this attire is not a required please do not wear skirts or any kind or very restrictive work clothes like tight jeans


2. Arrive Hydrated
Drink some water before and after. Hydration helps your muscles respond better to stretching and can reduce soreness.


3. Don’t Do a Heavy Workout Right Before
Light movement is fine, but intense exercise right before may leave your muscles too fatigued or tight.


4. Eat Light (or Not Too Close to the Session)
A heavy meal right before stretching can feel uncomfortable. A small snack is totally fine.


5. Communicate Any Pain or Injuries
Let the stretching professional know if you have:

  • Recent injuries
  • Chronic pain
  • Limited mobility
  • Areas you want to avoid or focus on

Passive stretching should never feel sharp or painful.


6. Relax and Breathe
The best results come when you stay calm and let your body release tension. Slow breathing helps your muscles loosen up.


7. Keep an Open Mind
Even if you’re not “flexible,” passive stretching is for everyone — especially people who sit a lot or feel stiff.
