Ergonomics consulting in the workplace
For optimal ergonomic work at your desk, there are a number of factors that should be taken into account. These include, for example, the sitting position, the adjustment of the screen as well as the lighting of your workplace.
The physiotherapy students of the Teaching Centre for Wellbeing and Movement will support you in this. Supported by professional instructors, your workplace will be analysed in a 30-minute appointment and you will receive recommendations for working in a more ergonomic way. Consultation is offered in German as well as in English.
New appointments will be made for workplaces on the main campus from September onwards. You can register for these appointments here.
An ergonomic workplace design can prevent or alleviate musculoskeletal issues caused by computer work.
We would be happy to advise you on the ergonomic design of your computer workspace in our occupational health consultation hours or directly at your workplace.
For making an appointment, please send us an e-mail to .
