Remote Assessment Services

 

Expert advice for new home office workers, to reduce and prevent back pain risk, keeping them healthy for the return to office work.

These are perfect if you:

• Are struggling with back pain and unsure what to do next
• You are new to working from home
• Realise that you constantly slouch and are looking for ways to stop this
• Have been diagnosed with a back issue or condition and are unsure of the best way to reduce your pain and optimise your recovery
• You would like to have an independent assessment of steps you need to take to recovery and reduction of symptoms.

Our assessments include unique bespoke diagnostic tools to quickly find and address any risk factors, including specific back, neck or shoulder or wrist issues, from general postural pain to chronic conditions such as arthritis, RSI, sciatica, scoliosis and fibromyalgia.

The majority of our clients suffer from on-going pains such as neck, shoulder or lower back ache, which we can quickly address and correct before it becomes chronic and extended leave is required. We also see many prolapsed or bulging disc issues, exacerbated by bad posture as well as issues such as RSI.

Back pain is multicausal in its nature, with posture, stress, nutrition and exercise all having an impact on the person’s overall well-being and therefore level of risk of back pain. We check you are doing everything you can to maximise your recovery. Knowing the subtle physical and psychological causes that increase your chances of adopting a bad posture is essential. So we will look at your back pain history, and provide an assessment of current rehabilitation, nutrition and wellbeing advice.
