Ergonomics

Ergonomic programs aim to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimize system performance, while protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. Our goal at the Edge Physical Therapy is to provide education and early intervention to keep employees healthy and to avoid work-related injuries. The benefits of this are reduced health care and workers compensation costs, decreased lost time due to injury, and increased productivity in the work place. We offer a wide range of services to help you establish a wellness program suited to your company’s individual needs. Some of the services we offer:

Ergonomic Assessment
A consultant will come to your facility to collect data, observe specific workstation(s), and even take video or photos if necessary. A detailed ergonomic assessment report will be generated that identifies improper/risky body mechanics, force, repetition, vibration, and environmental conditions for each workstation. We educate employees regarding proper workstation setup and recommend necessary equipment changes.

Lectures on body mechanics, exercise, injury prevention, nutrition, etc.

Injury Screens to assess work related injuries and the need for further medical intervention.

Supervised Exercise Instruction for injury prevention designed for specific job tasks

Physical Therapy Treatment on-site or available at any of our four facilities.
