Free office assessments available

A lot of work spaces are not set up well and can cause strain on the neck, shoulders, wrists and back. Often people don’t realize that their wrist pain is coming from something like the desk being set to the wrong height or the neck pain and the associated headaches from the computer screen being too low.

Occupational Therapists are well trained in assessing work spaces and can make great suggestions for you. They are excellent at injury prevention and post injury intervention. It’s amazing how many seemingly small tasks in our daily living can affect our pain levels.

I highly recommend our local Occupational Therapist - Noella LeFort.

The service is free as it is covered through MSI. The only cases that are not covered are worker’s compensation cases. Those cases need to be addressed by a private Occupational Therapist. Noella works through the hospital in Cheticamp. You should still reach out to her even if you are a worker’s compensation case, because she can direct you to another clinic.

You can get in touch with Noella LeFort at 902-224-4023 or noella.lefort@nshealth.ca

Stay well,
