We are passionate about occupational health physiotherapy.
We have worked onsite with one of the largest global blue chip companies for over 20 years and have extensive occupational health experience.
There has never been a time when the role of the occupational health physiotherapist in the workplace has been so vital. Worker’s with musculoskeletal disorders account for significant sickness absence. Physiotherapists are extremely well placed to provide a vital role in supporting employees and employers. It is well recognised that work is important for physical health, mental health and well-being and a healthy and productive workforce is good for business.
There is a growing recognition that sickness absence management is best tackled by services that are proactive in promoting healthy lifestyles, preventing illness and include early access to appropriate interventions. Physiotherapists already follow this model by working at every stage of the care system, from offering preventative advice to providing therapy and rehabilitation and empowering individuals to maintain their own health.
Benefits of corporate physiotherapy include;
- Rapid physiotherapy intervention at the place of work with clinicians who understand and have direct access to workplace environment.
- No travel times to clinics off site ensuring less time away from work.
- Close monitoring of treatment and efficiency.
- Close liaison with other occupational health professionals and managers.
