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
-
Before and after photos of the workstation

The Gold Standard in Home Office Ergonomics
Ergonomic Home Office Assessment
As remote and hybrid work have become a permanent part of modern workplaces, many home office setups were created quickly and without ergonomic guidance. As a result, work-from-home related aches, discomfort, and musculoskeletal injuries have increased significantly.
Our Home Office Workstation Assessments help ensure employees can work safely, comfortably, and productively from any remote environment. Delivered by experienced ergonomic consultants and supported by clinical physiotherapy expertise, our assessments identify ergonomic risk factors within the home workspace and provide practical, tailored recommendations to optimise the setup.
We review key elements of the home office including desk and chair positioning, monitor height, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting, air circulation, and overall workspace safety. By understanding how each individual interacts with their workspace, we help create an optimal working environment that supports healthy posture and reduces physical strain.
For employees, this means greater comfort, improved focus, and reduced risk of injury while working from home. For organisations and HR teams, it supports healthier remote work environments, improved wellbeing, and sustained workforce productivity.
By combining ergonomic consulting expertise with physiotherapy-informed principles, we ensure that no matter where employees are working from, they have a workspace designed to support their health, comfort, and performance.

Whats Included in our Assessments
STEP 1
Employee Consultation and Setup Review
We begin by understanding the employee’s current home working environment, daily work demands, and any discomfort or challenges they may be experiencing while working remotely.
STEP 2
Home Workspace Ergonomic Assessment
Our ergonomic consultants, supported by clinical physiotherapy expertise, assess the home workstation including desk height, seating, monitor position, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting, and overall workspace safety.
STEP 3
Identification of Ergonomic Risk Factors
We identify any elements within the home office setup that may contribute to poor posture, physical strain, or musculoskeletal discomfort, ensuring all potential ergonomic risks are addressed.
STEP 4
Tailored Workspace Optimisation
Based on the assessment, we provide practical and personalised recommendations to improve the workstation. This may include adjustments to equipment positioning, ergonomic setup improvements, and guidance on suitable equipment where required.
STEP 5
Healthier and More Effective Remote Work
Once the home workstation is optimised, employees are able to work with improved posture, greater comfort, and reduced physical strain throughout the day. By combining ergonomic expertise with physiotherapy-informed principles, we help ensure remote workspaces support long-term health and performance.
Key outcomes include:
• Reduced risk of work-from-home musculoskeletal injuries
• Improved comfort and posture during prolonged desk work
• Greater employee focus and productivity while working remotely
• Healthier and more sustainable remote working environments
• Stronger workforce wellbeing and performance for organisations
Through a clinically informed ergonomic approach, we help employees work comfortably and effectively from home while supporting organisations in maintaining healthy, productive remote teams.
