The strenuous nature of the food processing industry often leads to employees experiencing early signs of musculoskeletal stress, such as discomfort, tightness, or minor aches. Employ Health addresses these issues by integrating ‘Health Hubs’ directly within partner sites. Our Health Hubs focus on proactive approaches to early care, providing evidence-based treatments like soft tissue therapy, ART®, dry needling, joint mobilisation, and tailored exercise programs.

Our highly trained and experienced workplace physiotherapists have many years of experience with the unique demands of the food processing sector. This provides our clients a highly consultative approach for effective Early Intervention and informed decision-making regarding workers’ return to work strategies, including modified duties and close cooperation with the entire rehabilitation team: managers, supervisors, and health professionals alike.
