We offer immediate access to Physiotherapy providing quick, appropriate
assessment and treatment of all musculoskeletal disorders. These include
repetitive strain injury (RSI), back and neck pain, fractures, strains and
sprains etc.It is well recognised that staff absence can be very costly to employers and musculoskeletal injury is often a major cause of this absence. In our experience the sooner patients are seen, assessed and appropriately treated following an injury, the quicker they return to work and the less chance they have of developing a chronic, long term problem.
The benefits of immediate access to physiotherapy services for your business and your employees include: -
- Speedier return to work following injury
- Maintenance of staff at work with minor injury
- Prevention of onset of chronic conditions following injury
- Avoidance of long waiting lists
- Reduced costs of
- Replacement staff
- Sick pay
- Lost productivity - Improved awareness of timescale for staff absence through physiotherapy reports
- Employer/employee friendly service
The first point of contact for patients following a back strain or other injury
is generally their GP. The first line of treatment is invariably pain killers
with rest, which, if not successful, may be followed up after a week or two with
a referral to physiotherapy.Typical waiting times for NHS treatment can often be between several weeks or months. Throughout this time the patient, your employee, may be suffering pain and be unable to return to work or to full duties. This process can be vastly speeded up by immediate access to physiotherapy and costs to your business productivity greatly minimized.
