Read moreThis condition arises from the repetitive overhead arm activities, leading to inflammation and pain in the shoulder tendons.
Constant pressure and overuse can cause the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the shoulder joint, to become inflamed.
Frequent heavy lifting can result in strains to the shoulder muscles.
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition is characterised by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often due to lack of movement or a previous injury that hasn't been properly addressed.
Employ Health provides onsite physiotherapy services designed to tackle the root causes of shoulder-related problems in the workplace. Our physiotherapists work directly within the meat processing environment to offer immediate pain relief, targeted rehabilitation exercises, and strategies for injury prevention.
Early signs of musculoskeletal issues shouldn’t be ignored. Our early intervention program focuses on identifying the initial symptoms and addressing them promptly, thereby reducing the risk of more severe injuries and the need for prolonged treatment.
Our comprehensive pre-employment screening helps to ensure that new hires are physically capable of meeting the demands of their role. This proactive approach minimises the risk of injury by matching physical capabilities with job requirements from day one.
For workers who have sustained an injury, Employ Health offers robust rehabilitation programs tailored to the individual’s needs. Our goal is not only to alleviate pain but to restore full function and strength, ensuring a safer and quicker return to work.
We assess and align the physical demands of specific job roles with the capabilities of employees. This helps in minimising the mismatch that often leads to musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the shoulder.
Employ Health conducts detailed ergonomic assessments to identify risk factors inherent in job tasks. Our recommendations for modifications and the use of assistive devices aim to reduce the strain on workers’ shoulders, thus preventing injury.
