Ergonomic Assessment
An ergonomic assessment fits your workstation to your body, easing desk strain and preventing neck, back and wrist injury before it starts.
What to expect
An ergonomic assessment is a practical review of how your workstation fits your body and the way you work. A physiotherapist examines your chair, desk, screen height, keyboard and posture, then identifies the setup and habits that could be causing neck, back, shoulder or wrist strain. The goal is a comfortable, healthy workspace that lowers the risk of injury and keeps you working without daily aches, whether at home or in a George Town office.
Poorly arranged desks are a common cause of the neck, back and wrist problems we see across Grand Cayman. During the assessment we make hands on adjustments, explain the reasons behind each change and give you clear, written recommendations you can act on straight away. We can assess an individual employee or review setups for a whole team, and where strain has already taken hold we link the findings to a physiotherapy plan to settle it.

Your ergonomic assessment journey
Assessment first, a clear written plan, then treatment and review. You always know the next step.
Setup and habits review
The assessment begins with a look at your typical working day and any aches you notice. Your physiotherapist reviews your chair, desk, screen, keyboard and posture, watching how you actually sit and work rather than a one off position, to pinpoint what is putting strain on your body.
On the spot adjustments
We make practical adjustments on the spot, from screen height and chair support to keyboard and mouse placement, and explain the reason behind each change. You also learn simple movement and stretch breaks that keep you comfortable through long stretches at the desk.
Written recommendations
You receive clear, written recommendations to keep or share with your employer. If the assessment finds strain that has already set in, we can move straight into a physiotherapy plan and review your comfort once the changes have had time to help.
