The Link difference
Why an Occupational Therapist for Ergonomics?
Ergonomics is about more than adjusting a chair or monitor. Occupational therapists evaluate how an individual interacts with their work tasks, equipment, habits, positioning, & environment. That allows recommendations to be individualized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all checklist.
- The person
- The task
- The equipment
- The environment
- The workstation
- The way work is actually performed
Every Link ergonomic assessment, individualized recommendation, & professional report is completed by a licensed occupational therapist specializing in ergonomics.

For employers & organizations
Workplace & Corporate Ergonomic Assessments
Give employees individualized ergonomic support based on their actual workstation, equipment, work demands, & environment.
Link's occupational therapist assesses each employee within their real workplace setup — not a conference-room presentation & not an emailed form. Findings & recommendations reflect that specific person & that specific workstation.

- • A dedicated home office
- • A laptop-based setup
- • A small-space workstation
- • A dual-monitor workstation
