Desk & posture
Desk assessment, at your desk
45 minutes at your workplace or home desk with Daniel: chair, screen, laptop, breaks, photos before and after, a one-page report.
Within 48 hours; desk visits within 10 days
Plate IV, fig. 1The plate
What it is, in plain words.
Half the necks we see come from a laptop on a kitchen table. A desk assessment fixes the cause: Daniel comes to your desk, at work or at home, watches you work for ten minutes, adjusts what can be adjusted on the spot, and writes down the two things that are genuinely worth buying, which is often nothing.
For employers
Five or more assessments in a morning are £70 each, invoiced to the company, and meet the Display Screen Equipment regulations. Free desk-assessment mornings for Fennbridge businesses run monthly: twenty minutes per person, a short report, no obligation. Add a monthly osteopath clinic at your office from £320 a morning.
Booked with treatment
A first visit at the wharf plus a desk assessment is £140.
78% of desk patients reported pain better at the three-month call (2025, demonstration data)
What should I wear?
Something loose you can move in. For a back or hip we may ask you to strip to underwear or wear shorts; we have shorts and a gown, a towel covers you, and you can keep leggings on if you prefer. You can bring someone with you. Say what you are comfortable with and we work around it.

Plate IV, fig. 5Questions
Questions about desk assessment, at your desk.
Do I need a new chair?
Usually not. Most desks are fixed with the chair you have, a laptop riser and a separate keyboard. When a chair really is the problem we say so and name two, neither of which we sell.
Sudden severe back pain?
Acute back pain seen today.
Phone and Grace answers. Say where it hurts and whether you can do mornings.
