Many ergonomics providers focus solely on workplace assessment. At Active Return, we combine expertise in workplace ergonomics and injury management. This means we can assess workplace risk factors, identify the causes of musculoskeletal problems, recommend practical workplace modifications and deliver training to help prevent future injuries. In addition we can rehabilitate injured employees. This unique combination allows us to both treat existing problems and prevent future ones.
