Make the workspace work with the body.

Ergonomics is the practical study of how a workplace, its tasks and its equipment can be arranged for comfort, safety and better performance. The goal is not a single perfect posture—it is a workspace that supports natural movement and reduces avoidable strain.

Poor sitting habits, repetitive tasks and inefficient workstation setup can all contribute to neck and shoulder pain, back pain, headaches, RSI and tension. A trained physiotherapist can review the demands of a role and suggest practical, achievable changes.

For computer-based teams and other roles requiring prolonged positions, small adjustments to the desk, screen, chair and routine can support more comfortable work, better focus and more sustainable performance.

The essentials

01

Set up

Use equipment and a layout that allow natural, supported working positions.

02

Move

Regular changes of position help break up prolonged static working.

03

Adjust

Small refinements can make a meaningful difference to comfort and focus.
