If your staff use a screen for much of the working day, the law expects you to assess their workstations. Our osteopaths treat desk-related pain every week, so we know what a poor setup does to the body and how to fix it.
A DSE assessment reviews how a person uses their screen, chair, desk, keyboard and mouse, then records the risks and what needs to change.
A checklist can tell you a screen is too low. An osteopath can also see how that person actually moves and sits, spot early signs of strain and explain what is causing it.
That means fewer generic recommendations and more changes that make a real difference to how people feel by the end of the day.
Each person is assessed at their own workstation, on site at your London office.
Chair height, screen position and keyboard and mouse placement sorted there and then where possible.
A clear report for each person, giving you evidence of compliance.
Recommendations only where they are needed, with no pressure to buy anything.
Simple advice on breaks, movement and posture that people will actually follow.
If someone is already in pain, we will say whether they should be seen for treatment.
Send us the number of people, where they work and any known problems.
Each assessment takes 30 to 60 minutes. We visit your office.
A written outcome for each person, and a short summary of anything needing action across the business.
Dining chairs, laptops on low tables and no separate keyboard are common. We can assess home workers in person where that makes sense, and tell you what is worth changing and what is not.
Office staff and hybrid teams get the same one to one approach, so everyone is covered the same way.
Every assessment includes a written record. We confirm a fixed price before we start.
We visit your office and assess each person at their own desk.

Yes. If you ask someone to work from home regularly, the same duty applies to their home workstation.
Employers must provide an eye and eyesight test for DSE users who ask for one, and contribute to glasses where they are needed specifically for screen work. We do not carry out eye tests, so an optician would be needed.
Yes. If an assessment shows someone is already struggling, they can book an osteopathy appointment at the clinic. Our guide to osteopathy for workplace pain explains what we treat.
