When MRI Findings Don’t Equal Injury
—Why Onsite Physiotherapy Matters More Than Imaging in Workplace Shoulder Pain
Read moreHaving an on-site physiotherapy program within your business provides management and employees with real time access care. Having an on-site program for physiotherapy enables your business to proactively prevent injuries from occurring through the early intervention strategies, quick turn around of triage and treatment of injuries when they do happen and quicker return to work for workers who have needed time away from their duties.
Engaging with an on-site physiotherapy partner who works with you to develop a detailed understanding of your workplace’s specific physical demands can result in a customised program that tailors proactive strategies, programs and treatments to suit the unique needs of your business.
Fast and easy access to your onsite physiotherapy program enables managers and employees to address musculoskeletal issues promptly, leading to no, or reduced time away from work, ensuring you are maximising productivity levels in your business.
Through early intervention and effective management of injuries your business is likely to have a reduction in claims and the associated costs in supporting these cases.
By implementing an on-site physiotherapy program in your business that supports the health, safety and wellbeing of your workers you are showing them that you care about them as people not just workers which often leads to increased job satisfaction and the overall culture within your business.
Regular on-site access allows for improved management of chronic conditions, minimising the possibility of them escalating into more serious or chronic conditions.
An on-site physiotherapy program designed specifically for your businesses needs enables a more streamlined process for referrals to additional healthcare services if needed, saving time for both the employee and employer.
With consent, on-site physiotherapists can collect anonymised data on common workplace injuries, which can inform health and safety strategies within the company.
On-site physiotherapists provide targeted education and training for your workers, addressing the specific health risks identified in your workplace. Knowing your business closely in order to provide custom health education is another reason why onsite physiotherapy makes a difference.
