Workplace injury Management
With today’s busy lifestyle we are all spending longer hours at work and whether you have a heavy physical job or work in more sedentary role, at some stage you may be prone to pain or injury as a result.
The physiotherapists at NQPC can assist you with
your recovery and help you to stay at or return to work safely and as soon as
possible. As well as providing prompt
assessment and treatment of your injury, your physio can liaise with your
Doctor, your Case Manager and/or your Employer to prepare a plan for your
rehabilitation and return to suitable duties.
Another important role of physiotherapy in Workplace Injury Management, is
prevention of injury. Being unfit or carrying an underlying physical problem
(such as joint stiffness or muscle weakness), can predispose you to work
injury. This is especially if your job
involves heavy or repetitive tasks; however desk jobs also require elements of
fitness in order to enhance posture and flexibility.
So if you, or someone you know, has recently experienced pain or injury due to
their work, or you have an old injury/condition that you feel may be putting
you at risk of pain or injury, talk to your physio for advice.
