Ergonomic Services
It is estimated that work related injuries cost UK business over £3 billion a year. Harpenden Physiotherapy corporate services work closely with employers to assess on-site risks and agree strategies to assist in eradicating potentially harmful working practices – we call this an ergonomic workstation assessment.
For home based workers, our practice in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, has specialist physiotherapists who will visit your home or workplace and provide a comprehensive one off assessment for your work station.
