Occupational Health Assessment

Our occupational health service is designed to help employees improve their posture, reduce pain and discomfort, and enhance their productivity and well-being at work. As many as 20 employees can be scanned over a lunch hour each taking up only 6 minutes of their time.

This service is also beneficial for employees who currently have no concerns as it will help establish long term strategies thereby preventing future problems, as well as correct any postural imbalances whilst they are minor.
Adjustments to an employee’s desk and chair or improving lifting and handling techniques are essential to help protect staff from pain or injury, but this is only half the solution. Muscle and other soft tissue imbalances, and even spinal asymmetries may have already developed though years of poor posture causing pain or discomfort. Therefore, our holistic approach reviews both the environment and the employee to ensure the best possible outcome.
Occupational Health

We use 2D and 3D cutting-edge movement scanning technology which can be combined with a detailed workplace or workstation assessment to help identify asymmetries with movement, posture, balance and co-ordination that can develop over time.

Initial 3D scans are carried out in the workplace and only take 6 minutes to do. Each employee will receive a comprehensive report including an online 3D moveable avatar of themselves which will show the way they move as well as highlight any imbalances to their posture, balance and co-ordination. Importantly, the report will explain how any imbalances can be corrected including a personalised exercise programme to help achieve optimal alignment and movement and reduce any discomfort or pain they may be experiencing.

Working from home

For employees working from home, a 2D scan can be carried at home using a mobile phone combined with our unique software. This is not as detailed as a 3D scan but still provides an excellent level of information about movement, balance and co-ordination and a detailed report, recommendations and exercise plan are included.
