ergonomic assessment

The ergonomic demands of an office worker vary significantly from a manual job such as a labourer. An employee may be fit or physically capable for one occupation and not another. That's the basic point, we're all different shapes and sizes and our workplace setup and practices can vary on an individual basis.  This is where an ergonomic assessment for the individual worker is important.

home exercise program

Providing a home exercise program (HEP) to patients is one of the most fundamental and important aspects of physiotherapy. Research has shown that patients who adhere to their prescribed exercises are significantly better at achieving their goals and demonstrate a greater increase in physical function. Unfortunately, it has also been shown that, in general, patients adhere poorly to their prescribed home program​
