What Is the Ergonomics & Physiotherapy Programme?

The Ergonomics & Physiotherapy Programme combines two of AnjouHealth's core services into a single, integrated solution — workplace ergonomic risk assessment and onsite physiotherapy consultation — delivered together for greater impact.

Most organisations address ergonomics and physiotherapy separately. An ergonomic assessment identifies workstation risks, but employees with existing pain still need treatment. Physiotherapy treats the symptom, but without addressing the workstation, the same injury recurs. Our combined programme solves both problems at once.

Our ergonomists assess each employee's workstation, identify risk factors, and make practical recommendations. Our physiotherapists then assess any employees with existing discomfort or injury, provide hands-on treatment, and develop personalised recovery and prevention plans — all in a single coordinated onsite visit.

Why it works: Treating an injury without fixing the environment that caused it leads to re-injury. Fixing the workstation without treating the employee leaves them in pain. This programme addresses both — simultaneously and onsite.

This service is right for your organisation if you:

  • Have employees with ongoing MSD complaints despite ergonomic improvements
  • Want to combine assessment and treatment in a single onsite programme
  • Are managing multiple WICA or return-to-work cases involving MSD
  • Have a large workforce with high rates of repetitive strain or postural injury
  • Want to reduce MC days, absenteeism, and re-injury rates long term
  • Need MOM-ready documentation covering both ergonomic and physiotherapy intervention
  • Are building a proactive musculoskeletal health and prevention programme
  • Operate in office, manufacturing, logistics, or healthcare environments

What’s Included in the Programme

Every session is delivered onsite by our ergonomists and physiotherapists working together — combining assessment, treatment, and planning in a single coordinated visit.

🪑

Workstation Ergonomic Assessment

Each employee's workstation is assessed against ergonomic best practices — covering monitor height and distance, chair setup, keyboard and mouse positioning, lighting, and posture habits. Risk factors are identified and practical, low-cost adjustments are recommended on the spot.

🦴

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Assessment

Employees with existing discomfort or pain receive a full physiotherapy assessment — covering the nature, severity, and contributing factors of their complaint. This gives us a clear clinical picture to guide treatment and recovery planning.

🩺

Hands-On Physiotherapy Treatment

Our physiotherapist provides hands-on treatment for each assessed employee — using manual therapy, soft tissue mobilisation, joint mobilisation, therapeutic exercise, or taping depending on clinical findings.

📋

Personalised Recovery & Prevention Plan

Each employee receives a personalised plan covering recommended workstation adjustments, a home exercise programme, activity modifications, and a return-to-full-duties timeline where applicable.

📄

MOM-Ready Documentation

Full documentation is provided after every session — covering ergonomic risk findings, physiotherapy assessment and treatment records, and return-to-work recommendations. Suitable for MOM submissions, WICA cases, and internal HR reporting.

✏️

Need a more specific scope?

We can customise the programme to focus on specific departments, job roles, or injury types — or expand it to include group ergonomics training, follow-up sessions, and ongoing physiotherapy support. Just tell us what you need.

How We Deliver the Programme

A streamlined 4-step process — from initial planning to post-session reporting — designed to minimise disruption and maximise impact.

01

Consult & Plan

Step 1: Consultation & Planning

We start with a discovery call to understand your workforce, the roles and departments involved, any known MSD concerns, and your compliance or reporting requirements. We then recommend the right scope and agree on logistics — including scheduling, workspace setup, and the number of ergonomic and physiotherapy sessions needed.

02

Onsite Assessment & Treatment

Step 2: Onsite Assessment & Treatment

Our ergonomists and physiotherapists arrive onsite together and work through scheduled employees in structured batches. Each employee receives a workstation assessment and, where applicable, a physiotherapy assessment and hands-on treatment — all conducted at your workplace without any need to travel.

03

Plans & Recommendations

Step 3: Personalised Plans & Recommendations

Following assessment and treatment, each employee receives a personalised plan — covering workstation adjustment recommendations, a home exercise programme, activity modifications, and a phased return-to-work timeline where applicable. Ergonomic risk findings are compiled into a consolidated report for your HR or WSH team.

Report & Follow-Up

Step 4: Report & Follow-Up

We provide full post-session documentation covering ergonomic findings, physiotherapy records, and return-to-work recommendations — MOM-ready and suitable for WICA submissions. For employees needing ongoing physiotherapy, we coordinate follow-up sessions. We also advise on workstation procurement, equipment changes, or further ergonomic interventions as needed.

The Impact of This Programme

Organisations that address both ergonomics and physiotherapy together see faster recoveries, fewer re-injuries, and a healthier, more productive workforce.

🔍

Root Cause Resolution

Addressing both the workstation and the employee eliminates the cycle of re-injury that ergonomic assessments or physiotherapy alone cannot solve.

📉

Fewer MC Days

Early physiotherapy combined with ergonomic correction reduces the duration and frequency of MSD-related absences significantly.

MOM & WICA Compliance

Full documentation covering ergonomic risk assessment and physiotherapy treatment keeps you compliant with MOM and WICA reporting obligations.

💚

Higher Employee Confidence

Employees who receive both workstation improvements and hands-on treatment feel genuinely supported — improving morale, trust, and their confidence in returning to full duties.

📈

Long-Term MSD Prevention

Combining ergonomic correction with physiotherapy and exercise programming builds lasting habits that reduce MSD risk across your workforce over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions specific to our Ergonomics & Physiotherapy Programme. For broader workplace wellness FAQs, visit our FAQs page.

A standalone WERA identifies workstation risks but doesn't treat employees who already have pain. Standalone physiotherapy treats the injury but doesn't address the workstation that caused it. This programme combines both in a single coordinated visit — so you get root cause identification and treatment simultaneously, with one set of documentation and one onsite session.
A combined ergonomic and physiotherapy assessment typically takes 45 to 75 minutes per employee, depending on the complexity of the workstation setup and the nature of any existing complaints. We use structured batch scheduling to minimise waiting time and operational disruption.
Yes. Our physiotherapists are experienced in WICA return-to-work support — including functional capacity assessments, duty modification recommendations, and MOM-ready documentation. The ergonomic component ensures the employee's workstation is properly configured before they return to full duties.
We work within your existing workspace. The ergonomic assessment is conducted at each employee's actual workstation. Physiotherapy treatment requires a private enclosed space — typically 3m x 3m — with a power point and good lighting. We provide all necessary equipment including a portable treatment table.
Yes. The programme can be scoped to specific departments, floors, job roles, or employee groups — such as data entry staff, production line workers, or employees flagged during a previous health screening. We recommend the scope during the planning stage based on your workforce profile and MSD risk areas.
Pricing depends on the number of employees, the scope of ergonomic and physiotherapy sessions required, and the level of reporting needed. Contact us for a no-obligation quote — we'll scope it and provide a clear proposal before you commit.
