The cost to employers is enormous.
In 1997/8 119 million workdays were lost due to back pain. These figures however, only reflect those registered as an actual disability, the real figure could be closer to 180 million lost working days.

West End Physiotherapy offers a new and innovative service for companies interested in the welfare of their employees. An On-site Ergonomic Assessment involves an in-depth evaluations of each individual's workstation or office. The positioning, height and relationship of keyboards, screen, chair and telephone are examined.

If communication with colleagues is an essential part the working day, we also evaluate relative seating positions. Each of these factors have an effect on the positioning of the spine, muscles and joints and are therefore taken into account during our on-site assessments.

Physiotherapists from West End Physiotherapy have already changed the way many people work and as a consequence the way that they feel. Small changes in positioning of office equipment and posture can make a significant difference to the health of the muscles and joints.
