On-site physio is designed to treat workplace injuries at the source & is an affordable injury prevention strategy businesses can engage to minimise costs. Assessing contributing work practices, a physio can treat symptoms or injuries & help prevent further issues.
Injury Prevention & Onsite Physio – Previously covered in our article Onsite Physio Benefits, this relatively strategy shows positive evidence to suggest the correlation between the limitation of work-related injury and business growth.
On-site Physiotherapy aims to treat workplace injury at the source. This perspective looks at the factors of work which contribute to symptoms and injury, treating and helping to prevent further problems at the workplace. With this approach employers maintain the health of their workers, ultimately contributing to work productivity of the company.
The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) is moving towards a vision which aims to achieve how “the whole community recognises the full benefit of physiotherapy.” This effort to illustrate a communal recognition and understanding of physiotherapy – asking the question “Where would I be without physiotherapy?”
We, at Health Ability, could answer this question endlessly with various cases and personal anecdotes from our Physiotherapists at PROHEALTH PHYSIO.
We have dealt with, and continue to deal with, cases where the absolute need for physiotherapy treatment has stemmed from the likes of injury from the workplace. Whether it be a construction worker suffering back pains from excessive manual labour, or a business consultant with consistent neck aches looking at a screen for days on end – physiotherapy is essential for the treatment and more importantly prevention of these occurrences, to ultimately return people to their normal everyday lives.
Our experiences reflect in our onsite physiotherapy and rehabilitation services to various companies. We offer treatment in the forms of workplace screenings, assessments, progress monitoring, group programs, education and treatment, and many more.
The aims of our onsite physiotherapists:
- EARLY DIAGNOSE for EARLY INTERVENTION AND RETURN TO WORK
- EDUCATE employees of safe work practices and self-management
- MINIMISE the number and need for injury intervention, as well as time loss
- MAXIMISE cost-effective business strategy and work productivity
This will not only benefit the quality of life of workers by a safer work environment and keeping them at work, but also lower the costs (particularly the insurance premium) that influence business growth.
