What Is Physiotherapy Good For?

Injuries in the workplace can be acute strain or sprains but a large proportion of injuries can also be cumulative injuries from repetitive work.

They are also trained to be able to identify the aspects of the workers’ jobs contributing to these issues and make suitable adjustments to resolve the issue.
