Why Do You Need Workplace Physiotherapy?

Immediate and ongoing access to onsite workplace physiotherapy provides a proactive approach to treating and preventing a variety of work-related injuries including back, neck and shoulder pain and repetitive strain injuries.

Many workplace injuries are often the result of continual strain from repetitive tasks. Our trained occupational physiotherapists not only help treat these issues but can also identify the contributing factors and implement adjustments to prevent further injury.

Back Pain

Treated with a combination of manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation, our physiotherapists can also accurately diagnose the cause of an employee’s back pain to help prevent future aggravations and further
injury.

Neck Pain

Got a niggle in your neck? Employ Health can diagnose and treat all presentations of neck pain, ensuring the comfort and safety of your workers.

Shoulder Pain

The repetitive nature of most production jobs means upper limb and shoulder pain is a common occurrence. Typically a difficult area to correctly diagnose and treat, our trained physiotherapists can help identify the cause and implement ongoing adjustments to prevent future issues.

Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)

RSI is a common concern for many workers due to the repetitive nature of many workplace tasks. Employ Health can help treat these strains, while also managing and preventing future injury with cost-effective solutions.

Onsite Workplace Physiotherapy Benefits

Maintain Physical Capabilities

As workers age, it’s increasingly important to look after their musculoskeletal health. Employees often experience a decrease in their physical condition and capacity, along with poorer recovery times and an increased risk of injury and chronic illness. Employ Health can help manage the concerns of an aging workforce through education and physiotherapy, helping improve their health and prevent flow-on effects, such as extended time off work.

Minimise Workers’ Compensation Claims & Premiums

With our proactive and on-site approach to treating and preventing a variety of work-related injuries, Employ Health can help decrease the number of worker compensation claims made and lower your yearly insurance premium. Savings made with the help of our Workers’ Compensation Physiotherapy can provide further improvements to injury management and minimise future issues.

Increase Productivity

Reduce time spent on managing and treating injuries and more time getting the job done. A work-related injury means not only the loss of a skilled and experienced employee but also an increased expense on training short-term replacement workers. Employ Health’s trained physiotherapists can help decrease and even eliminate these pain points.

Improve Workplace Culture & Morale

Poor workplace conditions and high work-related injury rates are a leading factor for low workforce morale and culture. Invest in the safety of your employees and create a happier, healthier and more productive workforce.

Onsite Workplace Physiotherapy Program Inclusions

Employ Health’s onsite workplace physiotherapy program includes all the benefits of a traditional physiotherapy clinic, without having to leave the worksite.

Our designated worksite room provides a space for effectively diagnosing and treating a variety of musculoskeletal injuries, including rehabilitative exercise therapies and Early Intervention Physiotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Workplace physiotherapy is an umbrella term encompassing a variety of health and safety initiatives. These can include onsite exercise therapy and rehabilitation for the treatment and prevention of work-related injuries, education seminars, risk auditing, toolbox talks and more.

Workplace physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to decrease injuries, premiums, poor safety statistics and improve your culture.

While workplace physiotherapy and occupational therapy may share some similarities, there are key differences between the two practices. Workplace physiotherapy typically focuses on improving and restoring physical movement and mobility in the body after a work-related injury.

Occupational therapy is more centred on prevention and planning to help those affected by workplace injuries successfully return to work.

By ensuring workers have regular and easy access to workplace physiotherapy, your employees can have any pain or continual discomfort diagnosed and treated immediately, onsite, by trained professionals. Physiotherapy also focuses on implementing preventative measures to help reduce the rate of future work-related injuries and improve workplace morale and culture.

An outcome measure is an objective tool used by physiotherapists to help track progress in a worker’s injury rehabilitation. By assessing a person’s condition when they first present with an injury, outcome measures can help determine the best course of treatment and follow their recovery progress to ensure their workplace physiotherapy program is proving effective.

Attending an onsite workplace physiotherapy appointment is just like going to a regular clinic. The trained physiotherapist will collect the employee’s personal details, medical history and consent forms, followed by a full subjective and objective assessment of their injury. The employee will then be recommended manual therapy or rehabilitation exercises to help treat the concern.

Health insurance is not necessary to receive treatment from your Employ Health worksite Health Hub. Workplace physiotherapy is a free service provided by the company that has contracted Employ Health to provide our onsite services. Get access to our trained and experienced occupational healthy physiotherapists and treat that niggling pain or RSI free of charge.

Employ Health provides all the equipment necessary to set up our onsite workplace physiotherapy health hub. All we require is a permanent and dedicated room on your worksite with sufficient space to provide your employees with our services.

Our Rapid Response™ Physiotherapy service ensures 24/7 access so care can be provided for workers in circumstances where traditionally difficulties can arise such as night shifts, lone and regional workers.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

As a business we strive to be proactive in managing the health, safety and wellbeing of all our employees. We utilise Rapid Response Physio to ensure our Service and Transport staff are cared for even when they are away from the office. Previously when workers were injured while away from the office the first we might hear about an injury is when they return to the office with Workcover forms. Now, our team gets a rehab plan sent to their smartphone from the physio, and we can implement the right suitable duties if needed fast, to help them get better fast.
