Feel better in your body, wherever your day takes you
How Can a Postural and Ergonomic Assessment Help You?
The way we sit, stand, and move each day has a big impact on how our bodies feel. Whether it’s long hours at a desk or repetitive movements, small habits can create discomfort, stiffness, or even injury over time. This is where a postural and ergonomic assessment can make a massive difference.
Our approach looks at how your body is positioned during everyday activities. We check posture, alignment, and overuse or underuse of certain muscle groups. We also review your workstation, including your desk and chair, and any movement techniques, to see how your environment and movement habits may be affecting your body.
And because we assess you in your own space, we can offer advice and adjustments where they matter most – in real life, not just the clinic.
Who Can Benefit from a Postural and Ergonomic Assessment?
We believe anyone can benefit from a postural and ergonomic assessment. We each live a much more sedentary lifestyle than we would have even a century ago, and as a result, we often end up with furniture that doesn’t support our bodies, a lack of healthy movement throughout our days, and the need to retrain our bodies to move correctly.
If you feel stiff, achy, or uncomfortable after sitting, working, or lifting, a postural and ergonomic assessment is definitely for you. This service is especially helpful for people who:
- Experience neck, shoulder, or back discomfort, especially after long periods of sitting or repetitive tasks
- Spend much of the day at a desk, on a computer, or using devices
- Have manual handling or lifting as part of their routine
- Notice poor posture, muscle fatigue, or ongoing stiffness
This service isn’t suitable for those who are in need of emergency medical care or diagnostic scans.
If you’re not sure whether this is the right fit for you, there’s no need to worry. At Physit, we’re always happy to have a chat and help you decide.
The Role of Your Physiotherapy in Postural and Ergonomic Care
Good posture isn’t about sitting up straight all day—it’s about how your body moves, rests, and works throughout your daily routine. During your postural and ergonomic assessment, your Physit physiotherapist will take the time to understand how you sit, stand, lift, and move, along with the specific activities or setups that might be contributing to your discomfort.
This might include reviewing your workstation, chair height, desk and keyboard height, screen position, or lifting technique, depending on your lifestyle and needs. Alongside this, your physiotherapist may offer hands-on treatment to ease tight muscles, improve mobility, or strengthen areas that will help support better posture.
You’ll also receive clear, practical advice on different positioning and movement strategies, which are focused on small, achievable changes that fit into your everyday life. The goal is not only to ease your current aches and pains but to help prevent future issues from coming up so you can live a life that’s as pain-free as possible.
