Soft Tissue Injury Management & Prevention

Musculoskeletal disorders comprise more than 50% of all workplace injuries, with the average cost of each claim upwards of $50,000. An onsite physiotherapist will assist you to reduce both your injury rate and the costs associated with these injuries. Our range of services includes:

• Workplace Task Analysis and Computer Ergonomic Assessments
• Pre-employment and Post Injury Functional Capacity Evaluation
• Early Intervention Physiotherapy Management
• On-site Exercise Strategies
• Manual Handling Training and Education
• On-site Health and Wellbeing Program
• Access to Rehabilitation Facilities

Providing an on-site physiotherapist is one of the most powerful ways of maintaining a healthy and productive workforce. It will help prevent major soft tissue injuries from occurring and in the event of an injury provide the most effective means of treatment, reducing the time and financial costs associated with the injury. You will also see a positive effect on your employees’ health behaviours and attitudes toward their employer.

Work Well can provide you with an on site accredited occupational physiotherapist who is specifically trained in prevention and management of soft tissue injuries within the workplace. A Work Well physiotherapist dedicated to your workplace will recognise the needs of the employer and intimately understand the nature of tasks being performed. They will know its physical requirements and the types of injuries that can occur due to those specific demands. As a result they will be able to provide the most effective prevention strategies and treatment possible to achieve optimum outcomes.
