Welcome

The cost of long term sickness absenteeism due to musculoskeletal injuries such as low back pain are well documented . Many companies and organisations provide an Occupational Health department either in-house or outsource to an independent provider. Often these departments provide a valuable role in preventing injuries in the workplace. However according to recent reports it would seem that many companies are lacking in terms of rehabilitation when injuries do occur in the workplace and these have the greatest cost implication to a company or organization.

Latest reports suggest that rehabilitation at the earliest stages of injury can reduce the days lost due to musculoskeletal injuries and improve staff morale. Where a contract is secured with a local provider, which outlines consent of the injured party to share medical information, the company is able to obtain feedback on the progress of that staff member from the physiotherapist. This coordinated approach facilitates the workplace reorganisation until the injured employee returns. At Physio Plus we understand the importance of returning employees back to the work place at the earliest opportunity. We are keen to hear from organisations and companies in the Milton Keynes and Bedford areas who wish to tackle the costly burden of long term sickness absence due to musculoskeletal injuries sustained in the workplace.
