Long hours of sitting, especially in vehicles with poor suspension or ergonomics, can lead to spinal disc compression and herniation.
This can develop from repetitive stress and inadequate support for the back during long driving stints.
The pressure and vibration from driving can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve, leading to pain that radiates from the lower back to the legs.
Employ Health provides onsite physiotherapy tailored to the transport industry’s needs. Our physiotherapists work directly with transport personnel, offering treatments and exercises that specifically target back pain, enhancing recovery and prevention.
Early identification and treatment of back pain can prevent the development of chronic issues. Our early intervention services focus on addressing the first signs of discomfort, ensuring transport workers receive timely and effective care.
Conduct comprehensive pre-employment medical screenings to assess the physical suitability of potential employees for transport roles, identifying any predispositions to back problems and suggesting preventive measures.
Our customised rehabilitation programs focus on strengthening and restoring functionality to the back. These programs are essential for workers who have experienced back injuries, ensuring a safe and sustainable return to their duties.
By assessing and aligning the physical demands of specific roles with the capabilities of workers, we help minimise the mismatch that often leads to back injuries in the transport sector.
We conduct ergonomic assessments of vehicles and work environments within the transport industry with recommendations for modifications and use of supportive equipment that can reduce the strain on drivers' and workers' backs, preventing injury and discomfort.
