Ergonomic Training – Physiotherapy
Burnaby Metrotown & Coquitlam Square
Many people experience neck pain, shoulder tension, headaches, and lower back discomfort simply from the way they sit, work, lift, or move throughout the day. At Motion Pro Health, our physiotherapists provide ergonomic training to help you work comfortably, reduce strain, and prevent injuries caused by posture, workstation setup, and repetitive habits.
Ergonomic training is especially valuable for individuals who work at desks, drive for long periods, perform repetitive tasks, or engage in physically demanding roles. Our goal is to help you feel better at work and at home — with simple, practical adjustments that make a meaningful difference.

What Is Ergonomic Training?
Ergonomic training focuses on optimizing the way your environment supports your body. This includes adjusting desk height, monitor placement, keyboard and mouse positioning, chair support, lifting mechanics, standing posture, and movement habits throughout the day.
Your physiotherapist analyzes the way you sit, stand, work, and move — then designs a personalized plan based on your job demands, lifestyle, and physical needs. Even small changes can significantly reduce pain and prevent long-term strain on the spine, shoulders, hips, and joints.
Ergonomic training is not just about comfort; it is a science-based approach to minimizing the physical stress that contributes to chronic pain and repetitive strain injuries.
How Ergonomic Physiotherapy Helps
Patients are often surprised by how quickly ergonomic improvements lead to relief. By improving posture, reducing strain, and promoting healthier movement patterns, many individuals experience:
- Reduced neck, shoulder, and lower back pain
- Improved posture and spinal alignment
- Less fatigue during work or daily tasks
- Greater comfort while sitting or standing for long periods
- Reduced risk of repetitive strain injuries
- Better focus, productivity, and overall well-being
- More confidence in lifting, bending, and moving safely
Your physiotherapist may also provide exercises and mobility strategies to help you maintain better alignment throughout the day.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your ergonomic session begins with a full assessment of posture, workstation habits, movement mechanics, and muscle imbalances. Treatment and education may include:
• Personalized workstation setup recommendations
• Adjustments for monitor height, chair positioning, foot support, and lighting
• Guidance on lifting techniques and movement patterns
• Posture correction strategies
• Simple mobility routines to reduce tension during the workday
• Recommendations for ergonomic tools when helpful
Your physiotherapist provides clear, practical steps you can implement immediately — both at home and at work.
Integrated, Team-Based Care
Ergonomic issues often relate to neck tension, mid-back stiffness, shoulder strain, or lower back discomfort. When beneficial, your physiotherapist may collaborate with:
• Chiropractors
• Registered Massage Therapists
• Kinesiologists
• Acupuncturists
• Clinical Pilates practitioners
This multidisciplinary approach helps address muscle tension, postural imbalance, or movement limitations contributing to discomfort.
