Whether you spend eight hours a day sitting at a desk, work in a physically demanding environment or spend long periods on your feet, the demands of everyday working life can take their toll on your body.
Back pain, neck discomfort, shoulder problems and repetitive strain injuries are common complaints among employees across a wide range of industries. These problems can affect not only physical wellbeing but also concentration, productivity and quality of life.
At Energize Therapy, a physiotherapy and sports injury clinic based in Droitwich Spa, we regularly help people experiencing musculoskeletal problems that affect their ability to work comfortably.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure
One of the biggest misconceptions about workplace-related pain is that poor posture is always to blame. In reality, prolonged periods in any one position, repetitive movements, physical demands and individual factors can all contribute to discomfort.
Rather than focusing on maintaining the ‘perfect posture’, we encourage employees to incorporate regular movement, appropriate strengthening exercises and sensible adjustments to their working environment. We regularly here that people buy a standing desk, to only find the same problems ensue.
Small changes can make a meaningful difference.
How Can Physiotherapy Help?
Our experienced team provides individualised assessments and treatment plans to help employees understand their symptoms and return to normal activities. We can perform Physio-led DSE assessments and provide time-efficient exercises that can be incorporated by even the busiest of workers!
Our services include:
– Physiotherapy for back, neck, shoulder and joint pain
– Rehabilitation for work-related musculoskeletal injuries
– Strength and conditioning programmes
– Sports massage and acupuncture
– Workplace ergonomic and display screen equipment assessments
We aim to identify the factors contributing to each person’s symptoms rather than simply providing temporary relief.
