Musculoskeletal

Key Facts - Musculo skeletal disorders (MSD’s) are an important cause of work-related ill-health and certified sick leave., An MSD accounted for around one in eight people who were issued a sick note and the average length of absence from work was 10 weeks, almost two weeks more than the average for all conditions (Working For A Healthier Tomorrow, TSO 2008).

PhysiotherapySeveral studies have shown that early intervention physiotherapy is effective in reducing sickness absence and associated costs. For employees with lower back pain, interventions have been shown not only to return employees to work up to five weeks earlier than under normal care, but also to reduce the recurrence of back pain in the following year by up to 40%.

Work-Life Health offer early access to physiotherapy which makes good business sense.

In addition, we offer functional capacity and ergonomic assessments.
