Workstation Ergonomic Assessments
At Urban Ergonomics, our workstation ergonomic assessments are conducted by qualified physiotherapists with advanced training in ergonomics, workplace design, and musculoskeletal injury prevention.
This ensures each assessment is grounded in clinical reasoning rather than a purely checklist-based approach.
Because we routinely manage posture-related headaches, neck pain, RSI, and shoulder conditions, we understand how suboptimal workstation setups and repetitive work behaviours contribute to the development and persistence of musculoskeletal symptoms.
We assess both the workstation and the individual within a clinical framework.
Our assessments extend beyond basic workstation modifications. We integrate workstation optimisation with a structured evaluation of posture, movement patterns, and contributing musculoskeletal factors to identify the drivers of pain and dysfunction.
Where relevant, our physiotherapists may review existing medical information, including imaging and reports from treating practitioners.
This allows recommendations to align with the individual’s diagnosis and stage of recovery.
Employees are provided with targeted workstation modifications, individualised exercise prescription, and practical movement strategies aimed at reducing symptom load and improving functional tolerance throughout the workday.
Each assessment is accompanied by a formal ergonomic report for compliance and documentation purposes.
The report outlines clinical findings, identified risk factors, and clear, actionable recommendations to support workplace health requirements, injury management processes, and organisational record-keeping.
For employers and HR teams, this provides a clinically integrated solution that links medical insight with workplace ergonomics.
It supports early intervention, informed decision-making, and reduction of ongoing injury risk.
The outcome is an ergonomic assessment that delivers both immediate workplace improvements and a structured approach to long-term musculoskeletal risk management.

What's Included in our Assessments
STEP 1
On-Site Workstation Assessment
An ergonomic consultant conducts a detailed assessment of the employee’s workstation and observes how they interact with their equipment during normal working tasks.
STEP 2
Ergonomic Workstation Optimisation
Evidence-based adjustments are made to chair height, monitor position, keyboard placement, desk setup and accessories to achieve optimal ergonomic alignment.
STEP 3
Clinical & Medical Review
Where relevant, we review medical reports, imaging (such as MRI), and documentation from treating practitioners to ensure ergonomic recommendations support the individual’s condition.
STEP 4
Postural & Movement Strategy
Employees receive targeted posture guidance, movement strategies and corrective exercises designed to reduce musculoskeletal strain and support injury prevention.
STEP 5

Physiotherapist-Led Gold Standard Assessment
Workstation Ergonomic Assessments Across Australia
At Urban Ergonomics, our ergonomic workstation assessments are delivered in person by registered musculoskeletal physiotherapists with advanced training in ergonomics, workplace design and injury prevention.
Because we diagnose and treat posture-related headaches, neck pain, RSI and shoulder injuries every day at Urban Physiotherapy, our musculoskeletal injury clinic, we understand exactly how poor workstation setup and work habits evolve into clinical injuries.
Unlike generic ergonomic assessors, our assessments represent the Gold Standard of Ergonomic Practice — delivered by clinical physiotherapists at the forefront of musculoskeletal design, treatment and injury prevention. Every assessment is clinically driven, practical and immediately actionable, combining biomechanical expertise with real-world workstation optimisation.
Whats Included in our Assessments
1. In-person workstation assessment
Conducted on-site in the workplace, in-office, or at home, assessing how the individual interacts with their workstation in real working conditions.
2. Clinical assessment by musculoskeletal physiotherapists
Assessments are performed by registered physiotherapists with specialist expertise in biomechanics, injury mechanisms and musculoskeletal load — not checklist-based ergonomic consultants.
3. Immediate workstation modifications with real-time education
Practical adjustments are made on the spot. Every change is explained in real time, including why it’s required, how it reduces injury risk, and how to maintain it long-term. Questions are encouraged throughout.
4. Individualised exercises and preventative strategies
Where appropriate, targeted exercises, stretches and preventative strategies are prescribed by the physiotherapist to address identified risks and reduce the likelihood of injury recurrence
5. Formalised Ergonomic reporting and Equipment recommendations

Urban Ergonomics just hosted an online webinar for our team and it was FANTASTIC! This isnt your run of the mill PowerPoint presentation. Chris was very interactive and knowledgeable. We were able to watch live demos of proper ergonomics set ups, as well as a range of stretches and strengthening exercises. Can recommend for any workplace who thinks their staff need a refresher/some help!
