U.S. HealthWorks therapists are experts in movement science, biomechanics, injury prevention and recovery, and ergonomic principles. While procuring ergonomic equipment may be a useful solution, in many cases simply examining how the work is being performed is more cost effective and provides better outcomes.

Our three-pronged "Work-Worker-Worksite" ergonomic and job site assessment model provides extensive research, injury record data analysis and planning. We will investigate and measure the physical demands placed on employees, identify specific risk factors and make recommendations for improvement. In addition to planning a cost effective training program, we also offer advice and information on the selection of appropriate ergonomic products.
