There are 3 steps to manage msds in the workplace effectively:

• treatment
• rehabilitation
• prevention

Our occupational physiotherapy service is tailored to meet the client’s needs. We can provide anything from 3 hours a week to a full time service. The service is generally provided on-site but if necessary, arrangements can be made for an off-site service. We are able to provide a treatment service as well as a variety of preventative initiatives – again this depends on what suits the client. The treatment service is provided by a chartered physiotherapist with experience in the management of msds.

We provide our own equipment – all we need is space: a lockable room that is large enough for 2 people. Often we use the first aid room.

Our service is of the high standard that is expected from professionals. All logistic and administrative details are finalised in writing before commencement of a service in a service level agreement.

Benefits of Occupational Physiotherapy:

• Long waits for treatment are avoided - early diagnosis and treatment means less suffering and a better prognosis.
• Earlier return to work in many cases.
• An early, structured return to work helps prevent ongoing problems.
• Liaison with management and other health professionals allows more efficient management of employees with msds.
• Focus on prevention of recurrence and self management
• No need to travel off-site for treatment saves work time.
• Employees feel valued and see the service as a worthwhile benefit.
