Read moreRSI not only affects the individual’s health and wellbeing but also impacts organisational productivity. Employ Health will work with your Sydney team to develop customised and comprehensive strategies and solutions to manage and prevent RSI in your workplace.
RSI refers to a category of injuries involving the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, often caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, or maintaining awkward or static positions. Symptoms can include pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the affected area. Contributors to RSI in the workplace include:
Common in corporate and office environments that can lead to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.
Found in manufacturing, construction, and warehousing, where tasks are repetitive or involve awkward postures.
Where repetitive motions are frequent.
Early detection and treatment are crucial in managing RSI effectively. Employ Health will work with you to design your early intervention program to identify symptoms early and provide targeted therapies to prevent the progression of the condition.
Our onsite physiotherapy service brings tailored care directly to your Sydney workplace, offering timely treatment for RSI in your workforce. By addressing issues on-site, we ensure minimal disruption to the worker's day and prompt intervention for their condition.
Our Sydney based team of physiotherapists will conduct thorough ergonomic assessments tailored to your workplace environment. These assessments help identify and rectify risk factors contributing to RSI, with recommendations for ergonomic adjustments and equipment to support worker health.
Employ Health’s pre-employment screenings will be customised to assess the physical compatibility of job candidates for roles in your workplace known to have a higher risk of RSI. This proactive approach helps in placing the right person in the right job, reducing the likelihood of injury within your business.
For employees suffering from RSI, Employ Health designs personalised rehabilitation programs that focus on recovery and prevention of future injuries, ensuring workers return to their roles safely and with confidence.
Employ Health will customise for your workplace a program including education and training on RSI prevention, including proper workplace ergonomics, stretching exercises, and breaks to reduce the risk of strain. These programs are designed to empower your Sydney workforce with the knowledge and tools to set them up for success in preventing RSI.
RSI is a challenge for both your workforce and your business. Employ Health’s system based approach to preventing and managing injuries in the workplace (including RSI management) combines preventative strategies, targeted treatment and workplace modifications to ensure the health and productivity of your Sydney based workforce.
