HOW CAN WE HELP?
According to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), musculoskeletal (MSK) problems accounted for 10.5% of all sickness absence occurrences in the UK in 2022. MSK conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain, are responsible for 10.5% of all sickness absence occurrences in the UK as of 2022 (Office for National Statistics, 2022). This means nearly 20 million days of sickness absence annually, with 8.9 million of those days directly linked to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs).
Quick access to physiotherapy can significantly reduce the duration of absence and save your business money. Studies from the Health & Safety Executive and the Chartered Institute of Physiotherapy, have demonstrated that for every £1 spent on Occupational Health Physiotherapy, businesses can save up to £15.

01
ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENTS
Our Onsite Services can provide a simple cost-effective way of offering treatment while providing minimal disruption to your business operations, often making them cost neutral as a minimum. Our partnerships provide the most comprehensive treatment options for your employees, providing them the opportunity to attend our clinic for any ailments they are experiencing.
We help provide additional support to employees who are either integrating back into the working arena or adjusting to their 'Work From Home' setups. We assess your team members and their requirements to ensure that they are able to work most effectively and avoid injury at their workspace. This could involve specialist equipment or a programme of how to manage their workspace, stretches or general health and wellbeing pointers. We can help prescribe or signpost required equipment to instigate a healthier work environment such as chairs and other essentials including:
-
Individual Workstation assessments including DSE (Display Screen Equipment)
-
Advice on any alterations to current equipment
-
Advice on alternative equipment
-
Management of existing problems
-
Prevention of future problems
​
By law, employers are required to conduct DSE (Display Screen Equipment) compliance assessments for all employees working with computer screens. We can help ensure your business meets these legal requirements, offering more than just a basic checklist by providing the mandatory education and training needed for full compliance.
02
INJURY CLINICS
The largest portion of a GP’s caseload is musculoskeletal conditions at a staggering 40%. A chance to have an informal discussion and assessment of these injuries by a specialist is key to helping staff stay at work, and help get them the treatment they need.
This eliminates the need for sitting on lengthy waiting lists for your local doctor and follows the first rule of effective treatment; early intervention is the best intervention! As a minimum, all we need is a meeting room where we can provide basic assessment of injuries and we can then tailor a strategy to secure that employee staying operational and productive or throughout their route to recovery.
​
We can also offer educational seminars for your staff, such as back pain clinics or signpost to complementary materials such as NHS guidance or our own in house educational materials. This can be on a one off our routine basis.
​
By investing in our Injury Clinics, you’re ensuring that a wide audience of staff can benefit from our resources – another smart financial decision. Let us help you reduce absenteeism, boost productivity, and ensure a healthier, more engaged workforce.
