Work-Related Injury Prevention & Management
Manchester Physio is keen to establish partnerships with local businesses to help them manage one of the biggest causes of absence from work.
Injuries at work can often cause severe and debilitating symptoms such as pain, numbness and tingling. These often lead to reduced productivity of staff, increased sickness absence, and temporary or permanent disability. Common causes include;
- repetitive or forceful movements
- heavy lifting or the moving of heavy objects
- poor ergonomics (workstation or equipment set up)
- poor posture
- exposure to vibration
- generally unsafe work environments
Evidence shows the longer a person is off work the less likely they are to return, therefore, Manchester Physio aim to:-
- prevent and minimise the incidence of musculo-skeletal disorders in the work place
- provide early access to physiotherapy assessment and treatment
- work with employers and employees to help patient’s stay at work or return as soon as possible
- encourage physical activity, good posture and self-management strategies at work and at home
Manchester Physio also provide;
