Desk posture and desk or workstation assessments are vital to your health at work, and involve a specialist in workstation assessor visiting you at your workplace to discuss your individual needs and reviewing the equipment you use (chair, desk, monitor, keyboard, mouse, phone etc) and its positioning on your desk to ensure that it is the most suitable for your needs.

This assessment is not only a employer’s legal responsibility but also a valuable tool to ensure maximum comfort for individuals. In turn, this minimises the risk of injury, thus increasing productivity in the work place. See our DSE Assessment package for a number of brief individual assessments performed in the workplace, for prevention of symptoms and discomfort.

It is also beneficial for a specialist to undertake the assessment in cases where an individual has pain or fatigue symptoms or a diagnosed injury.  This will help to ensure that your workstation and environment are not contributing to your symptoms or impacting upon your recovery. See our Ergonomic Assessment package, for those experiencing symptoms for some time or with a medical diagnosis.

Currently we offer bespoke packages for many conditions and a whole range of services if they are needed, to suit your exact needs. See our list of Healthywork Services.

‘I contacted Alison a couple of months ago and she came up to see me and my team quite recently, Alison was very thorough with everyone, some people needed an hour with her others just 10 minutes, however everybody got something out of her visit, the visit was informative but not long winded and not rushed.

I was also very impressed with the level of information supplied for each individual after the visit, which has enabled me to order what was needed (however I could have done without the cost this involved!!).

Overall I would highly recommend Alison and Healthywork Ltd’. (June 2017)

I found today’s assessment very helpful indeed, and am trying my best to keep my keyboard as close to me as possible – makes a big difference when I do, it’s even increased my speed and accuracy, lol.

Also, and more to the point, the pain in my back hasn’t got any worse today, and I haven’t used the wrist support, so having my arms supported (on arm rests) is clearly doing something for them already.
