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.

Ready Access
Our Health Hubs provide workers with timely and confidential access to professional physiotherapy for all types of musculoskeletal issues, whether work-related or not.
Preventive Action
Addressing musculoskeletal discomfort promptly through Early Intervention can significantly reduce the likelihood of acute pain turning into chronic conditions, ensuring that employees maintain their work and personal life activities without discomfort.
Empowerment and Support
Employees benefit from targeted training and education on the job, fostering a sense of support and expert guidance through participative risk management interventions.
Advantages of Early Intervention for Food Processing Businesses
Financial Investment
Beyond the apparent costs of workplace injuries, the hidden expenses — like replacing staff, lost productivity, and lowered morale — underscore why Early Intervention physiotherapy is an investment for your business.
Efficiency in Time Management
Incorporating both clinical and task-based Early Intervention has a proven track record in cutting workers’ compensation claims and shortening recovery periods, translating into lower insurance premiums.
Informed Reporting
Our proactive approach to musculoskeletal screening and reporting paves the way for predictive injury management models, enabling data-driven decisions for safety and injury management.
