DSE (Display Screen Equipment) and Workstation Assessments

Many of the aches and pains we see in clinic are due to the repetitive and poor nature of the postures we adopt in the workplace. Many people spend large parts of their working day sat at a desk.

An incorrect workstation set up and the poor postures adopted on them are responsible for a large percentage of the spinal aches and pains we treat.
