Occupational Physiotherapy ...
Improve your employee well being and reduce absence figures
Occupational Physiotherapy has been shown to have demonstrable effects in reducing both the incidence and overall number of days lost to ill health and accidents in the workplace.
We can work with your staff to resolve pain quickly while teaching them skills to help prevent a recurrence of symptoms. Common workplace complaints include back pain, stiff or painful necks, sore shoulders and upper backs, sprains, joint pain and muscle strains and recurring headaches.

How Impact Physio can help
We are well placed to advise on improving your working environment and provide ergonomic guidelines to help you find the best environment to suit your body. We will identify the factors which have caused the symptoms which are nearly always related to a repetitive task related to your working posture e.g. keyboard typing.
In July 2000 the Government in conjunction with the Health and Safety Commission launched a strategy “Securing Health Together”which identified musculoskeletal disorders as an area to be addressed as a priority.

WRULD is used to describe people who suffer from diffuse pain anywhere in the arm and/or neck. It can be caused by repetitive or forceful activities or by poor posture.
Work related injury

How to improve your workpsace environment
- One of the first things to check is if your workstation is symmetrical e.g. is the monitor or place that your type and write straight in front of you?
- Are the files or equipment you access most frequently close to you and balanced on both the left and right sides?
- If you are sitting for long periods, you will need a supportive and adjustable chair and your feet should be flat on the floor - or on a foot stall if they don’t reach the floor.
- Take regular breaks.
Physiotherapy treatment may include:
- spinal mobilisation,
- soft tissue techniques for muscles,
neural tissue mobilisation, - postural muscle strengthening
