The Unique Challenges of the Mining Industry

The mining industry is a physically intensive field with its own unique set of challenges. Extended work hours, physically demanding tasks, and harsh working conditions can lead to a variety of musculoskeletal issues and injuries. But with Employ Health’s proactive approach to onsite physiotherapy, we can address these mining industry issues head-on.

Why Choose Onsite Physiotherapy?

Improving Morale and Employee Retention

The presence of onsite physiotherapy services sends a clear message to your workers that you are invested in their well-being, boosting morale and job satisfaction, thereby improving retention rates.

Onsite physiotherapy dynamic warmup

The construction industry, characterised by physical labour, places a considerable amount of stress and strain on the workforce, leading to a higher incidence of musculoskeletal issues and work-related injuries. By implementing onsite physiotherapy, construction companies can significantly reduce these risks. Our specially trained physiotherapists understand the unique physical demands of this sector and are able to tailor preventative and rehabilitative strategies that directly address these needs.

Onsite services mean immediate attention to any injuries, minimising downtime and promoting faster recovery. It also provides an opportunity for the early detection of potential problems, preventing them from escalating into more serious conditions that could lead to lengthy absences. Additionally, our physiotherapists offer ergonomic advice, lifting techniques, and posture awareness training specific to construction tasks, helping to further minimise the risk of injury.
