Ergonomic Workplace Assessments in London

Clinical assessment of how you work at your desk — chair, monitor, keyboard, posture, and movement breaks — resolving the workstation factors that drive most desk-based neck, back, and wrist pain.

Most chronic neck, shoulder, lower-back, and forearm pain in office workers is driven by the same handful of workstation factors — monitor too low, chair too deep, keyboard too far forward, no movement breaks. An ergonomic assessment fixes those root causes rather than treating the resulting pain in isolation. Available as a one-off appointment in clinic, an on-site visit at your office, or a video assessment for hybrid workers.

FAQ

Common
questions

Is an ergonomic assessment the same as a DSE assessment?

A standard DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessment is a checklist required by UK law for regular computer users. Our clinical ergonomic assessment goes further — we examine the person, not just the workstation, looking at posture, range of motion, and your actual symptoms. Many employers use our assessment to satisfy DSE obligations while delivering more value.

Will my employer pay for this?

Often yes — employers have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment, and many include ergonomic assessments in wellbeing budgets, occupational health, or private medical insurance. We can issue invoices addressed to your employer or their HR provider. Ask your manager or HR team before booking.

Do I need to come into the clinic for this, or can it be done remotely?

Either works. Remote video assessments are often the most practical for hybrid workers — we observe your actual working setup at home or in the office. In-clinic appointments work well when you also want a physical posture assessment. On-site visits are usually arranged through corporate wellbeing programmes.

I already have neck or back pain. Should I book physiotherapy or ergonomics first?

If pain is significant or recent, book physiotherapy first to assess and treat the immediate problem. Schedule the ergonomic assessment alongside or shortly after — fixing the workstation prevents the pain coming back. Many clients combine both as a single course of care, which insurers usually cover under MSK treatment plans.
