On-site workplace assessments

On-site workplace assessments

Often patients seek treatment for injuries that have been sustained at work. These injuries may arise from working in a poorly designed work station, incorrect manual handling techniques, poor posture, etc. Injuries can cause undue stress, lost time and decrease productivity in the workplace.
How can we help you in a workplace setting?

Physiotherapists can help minimise lost time and maximise productivity by:

• Identifying risk factors which may contribute to or exacerbate an employee’s musculo-skeletal injury.
• Provide effective manual treatment for injuries.
• Assessing the workplace and recommending specific job/workplace modifications.
• Give advice on correct manual handling techniques to avoid injury.
• Provide advice on appropriate work/rest cycles and sequencing of tasks.
• Educate workers about good posture while working.
• Provide exercises such as stretching and strengthening.
