Ergonomic Desk Setup

The world has been turned upside down with the recent COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many will be working from home and may also become more sedentary than usual. Keeping active, even in isolation, is crucial in maintaining both physical and mental health, especially during this stressful period.

If you have relocated your office to your home, a priority will be to prevent new ‘workplace injuries’ by ensuring you have optimal ergonomics in your work space . A physiotherapy evaluated ergonomic desk setup is crucial in preventing workplace aches and pains, and can further assist in preventing the development of chronic conditions such as wrist tendinopathies and chronic lower back pain.

Workplace injuries may include:

• Lower Back Pain

• Neck Pain and Headaches

• Mid Back Pain

• Wrist, Elbow and Shoulder Pain

What is involved?

Please fill out the contact form on this page with your name and email address. I will be in touch with you via email and ask a number of specific questions regarding your office setup. In addition, I will guide you through taking a range of photographs of your home workplace which will assist my assessment.

If you would like further information regarding suitable exercises and stretches to prevent injury, and/or a basic at home exercise program, please indicate this in the message and we can set up a Telehealth appointment.
