Ergonomics is the process of designing and arranging workspaces, systems, and products to maximise productivity while reducing fatigue and injury risk. Additionally, ergonomic training can play a crucial role in reducing injuries, limiting sick days, and fostering a safety-oriented culture in organisations. At The Alignment Studio, our physiotherapists can provide a full ergonomic assessment for Melbourne businesses of all sizes.
According to Safe Work Australia, the total economic cost of work-related injuries and illnesses is estimated to be $61.8 billion annually. Lower back pain is one of the most common workplace injuries, often leading to time off work. Proper manual handling techniques and ergonomic improvements can significantly reduce these injuries and associated costs—a situation that could easily be avoided with some simple ergonomic improvements!

I engaged Jane Lau from The Alignment Studio to conduct ergonomic assessments on several employees in my company. Jane was very efficient in her communication and was punctual to all assessments. Based on feedback from the employees, Jane had made valuable adjustments to their workstations and had provided them with good advice on further treatment for their existing injuries. The assessment reports Jane prepared were very detailed, structured and easy to read. I am very happy with the service that Jane has provided us, and I look forward to continuing this relationship with The Alignment Studio.
