As a Registered Occupational Therapist, with over 20 years of experience, I have a passion for the prevention of work-related injuries. As a Certified Industrial Ergonomic Evaluator, I can offer solutions to reduce injury risk.
Musculoskeletal disorders are common in the workplace and result in high workers compensation costs. Having a therapist at the jobsite to assess injuries, and utilize OSHA compliant injury prevention strategies, will result in a reduction of work-related incidents and costs. Companies with onsite therapy services average a 50-75% reduction in Work Comp Costs!

A risk assessment to identify low, medium, and high-risk job tasks. Having an ergonomic risk assessment can help employers identify high risk areas and develop a strategic plan to improve worker safety.
A review of office setup with recommendations on changes needed to ensure employees are able to maintain appropriate working postures. A good office setup will help to keep employees more comfortable and productive. The virtual office assessment can be used to meet the needs of work-from-home employees.

Professional presentations to provide employee education on a variety of topics, including body mechanics, musculoskeletal wellness, injury prevention, stress management, and general wellness. One-to-one training on body mechanics as workers are performing job tasks.
