Ergonomic advice

Consult a physiotherapist/ergonomist

It is important to adapt the workplace both to the job and the employee's personal circumstances, in order to create a healthy and well-functioning work environment.

The Occupational Health Service's physiotherapists/ergonomists can offer advice if you are at risk or are experiencing problems related to your work environment.

The physiotherapist can help you with

• assessment of physical function,
• advice on physical activity and relaxation,
• advice on aids and working technique,
• advice on vision ergonomics,
• testing office chairs,
• sample treatments where appropriate and
• starting of rehabilitation measures.

Consultations take place via

• email,
• telephone calls,
• digital meetings,
• visits to the Occupational Health Service or
• visits to your workplace.

If more-long-term treatment is required, employees are to consult public healthcare.
