What is physiotherapy in the workplace?
Physiotherapy in the workplace can offer advice on subjects such as how to keep good posture while employees sit at their desks. They can also give advice on lifting and carrying techniques, so that your employees don’t further injure themselves when doing manual work.
As well as that, they provide manual therapy, which is when they use their hands to manipulate, mobilise and massage body tissue. The pressure relieves pain and stiffness and encourages better movement for your employees.
What kind of issues usually require physiotherapy?
Within the workplace you may need physio for musculoskeletal issues, repetitive strain injury or posture issues. With homeworking becoming more popular, it has resulted in more issues of MSK, so ensuring all your employees have access to a physiotherapy service is essential.
What are musculoskeletal issues?
Musculoskeletal (MSK) issues are when you experience problems with your joints, bones, and muscles and sometimes associated tissues such as your nerves. They can range from minor injuries to long-term conditions and can affect your work and how you perform your job.
Over 20 million people in the UK, almost one third of the population, have an MSK condition such as arthritis or back pain.
