What Is an Ergonomic Consultation?
An ergonomic consultation is a structured, one-on-one evaluation of your work environment. A trained consultant examines how you sit, type, and interact with your equipment throughout the day — then delivers specific, prioritized changes you can implement immediately.
Unlike generic advice you find online, every recommendation is tailored to your body, your workspace, and your daily routine. Whether you work from a corporate office, a kitchen table, or a standing desk in your garage, we meet you where you are and work with what you have.
Our consultations are offered at no cost through ErgoLife Foundation as part of our mission to make ergonomic wellness accessible to everyone.
What We Assess
Every consultation covers five core areas that directly affect your comfort, posture, and long-term health.
Desk Setup
Height, depth, surface area, and how your arms rest while typing or writing.
Chair Adjustment
Seat height, lumbar support, armrest position, and tilt tension for your body type.
Monitor Position
Screen distance, height, angle, and multi-monitor arrangement to reduce neck strain.
Lighting
Glare reduction, ambient light balance, and screen brightness to prevent eye fatigue.
Work Habits
Break frequency, posture patterns, and micro-movement routines that prevent strain.
Who Benefits Most
A consultation is valuable for anyone who sits at a desk, but it is especially impactful in these situations.
People With Persistent Discomfort
If you experience recurring neck pain, back stiffness, wrist strain, or tension headaches tied to your work setup, a consultation can identify the root cause and fix it — not just mask it.
Remote Workers Setting Up at Home
Transitioning from a corporate office to a home workspace is one of the most common triggers for new pain. A consultation ensures you set up correctly from the start.
People Recovering From Injury
After surgery, physical therapy, or a repetitive strain diagnosis, your workspace needs to adapt to your recovery. We coordinate with your care team when needed.
Anyone Wanting to Prevent Problems
You do not need to be in pain to benefit. A proactive assessment catches small issues before they become chronic. Think of it as a wellness checkup for your workspace.
What to Expect
Our process is simple, thorough, and designed to deliver results within 30 days.
Initial Assessment
We meet you at your workspace or connect via video call. You walk us through your typical day while we observe your setup, posture, and movement patterns. You also complete a brief comfort questionnaire so we have a measurable baseline.
Customized Action Plan
Within 48 hours you receive a detailed, written plan. It includes equipment recommendations at multiple price points, step-by-step adjustment instructions with photos, and a prioritized checklist so you know exactly where to start.
Implementation Support
Need help adjusting your chair, mounting a monitor arm, or rearranging your desk? Our team is available by phone, email, or video to walk you through every change. You are never left to figure it out alone.
30-Day Follow-Up
One month after your consultation, we check back in. We reassess your comfort levels, answer any new questions, and make final adjustments. Most participants report a significant reduction in discomfort by this point. Learn more about long-term support options available after your follow-up.
Request a Consultation
It is free, personalized, and takes about 30 minutes. No sales pitch, no obligations — just practical guidance for a healthier workspace.
