What Is Physiotherapy Good For?
Physiotherapy is a popular treatment option for a range of workplace-related conditions that involve the musculoskeletal system. Injuries in the workplace can be acute strain or sprains but a large proportion of injuries can also be cumulative injuries from repetitive work. Occupational physiotherapists are trained to recognise these conditions and treat them accordingly. 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.
Physiotherapy For Back Pain
Accurately diagnosing the cause of a worker’s back pain will allow the treating physiotherapist to eliminate the tasks of their job contributing to this pain while they are treated with manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation to prevent future aggravations.
Physiotherapy For Neck Pain
Physiotherapists are trained with multiple techniques to be able to diagnose and treat all presentations of neck pain in a safe and effective manner. A worker’s comfort and safety are always the main focus of any treating Employ Health physiotherapist.
Physiotherapy For Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be one of the most difficult areas to diagnose and treat correctly due to the joint's increased mobility. In most production jobs it is not unusual to see many upper limb and shoulder pathologies because of the repetitive nature of workers' jobs and tasks. Being able to correctly identify poor biomechanical control of the shoulder and anatomical positioning with work is important for resolving these conditions in the workforce.
Physiotherapy For Repetitive Strain Injuries
Due to the repetitive nature of many workers' jobs it is not uncommon to see a larger number of RSI in the workplace populace. Employ Health’s experience and training in these conditions is vital to getting the best and quickest outcomes for the worker and employer.
