Workplace Physiotherapy and Musculoskeletal Specialist Services
Early physiotherapy assessment and services are crucial for the treatment of musculoskeletal injury, whether it is of a workplace or social origin.
Rapid intervention and treatment for musculoskeletal injuries will help assist the employees to return to work or even design a programme to support rehabilitation at work. From timely physiotherapy assessments to therapy, fast-acting workplace care can make a difference.
The longer employees are off sick due to such conditions as back, neck, or shoulder pain, the less likely they are to return to work. So, a proactive approach to conditions is always recommended through the support of our chartered Physiotherapist services.
On occasion, some injuries do not require direct face-to-face contact and can be initially assessed over the phone. An appropriate pathway can then be identified, whether it be instruction using an appropriate app or IT media or physical referral.
The majority of employees who benefit from our physiotherapy service are often referred due to ongoing or recurring sickness absences.
The Job Demands Analysis is an evaluation process that examines and quantifies the physical demands required to perform a given job, ultimately helping to manage associated role health risks, particularly those of an ergonomic nature.
The JDA considers environmental and cognitive demands relating to your specific job roles. It can also provide a blueprint for future Functional Capability Assessments (FCE).
The intervention and subsequent management advice report is undertaken by a member of our chartered physiotherapy services team.
The more complex the role, the longer the time required onsite to review and assess the associated work activities. Interventions are typically undertaken on a full or half-day rate basis depending on the job description and initial job scope.
Our Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) assesses and quantifies an individual’s capacity to perform a given job.
A detailed, performance-based examination is carried out by our qualified physiotherapist/clinician against the foundation job-related materials provided.
The purpose is to assess an individual’s health status and function, which can be compared to the demands of their job, and predict their potential to sustain these tasks over a defined time frame.
The FCE results can be used to make return-to-work (activity) decisions and disability determinations or to design rehabilitation plans and support ill-health retirement claims where appropriate.
A drop in 20-30-minute physiotherapy assessment per person is usually undertaken as part of an organisation’s wellbeing day.
The chartered physiotherapist will look to assess the musculoskeletal condition presented by the individual, make treatment recommendations, and align with GP, NHS, and any private health care capability available. Where appropriate, a status of fitness for work may also be provided.
At Kays Medica, we offer a variety of Workplace Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessment interventions.
Where individuals have an underlying musculoskeletal or other health condition that is likely to be increasing pain and discomfort when using DSE, an on-site workplace assessment of the workstation will be conducted by one of our chartered physiotherapists.
The assessment reviews the ergonomic setup and any adjustment of DSE hardware and ensures compliance with duties under the appropriate regulations. These escalated interventions are specifically designed to support individuals with known underlying health conditions, particularly musculoskeletal.
Workplace assessments are commonly requested to review office ergonomics and display screen equipment (DSE) setup but are not just limited to office environments. They can benefit your employees in a full range of working situations.
Individually tailored physiotherapy-led education sessions can be provided for groups of 5 – 20 employees and are usually held locally on-site. These sessions can be bespoke to musculoskeletal risks, such as back pain management and lifestyle changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Over 20 million people in the UK, almost one-third of the population, have an MSK condition such as arthritis or back pain. MSK conditions can cause pain, stiffness, limited movement, and disability, which affect quality of life and independence. They can also greatly impact people, your business, the NHS, and the broader economy. Over 30 million working days are lost due to MSK conditions every year in the UK, and they account for up to 30% of GP consultations in England.
Physiotherapy is a treatment that uses exercises and advice to help reduce pain, increase range of motion and improve strength. Physiotherapists are trained professionals who can assess, diagnose and treat various conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiovascular systems.
Physiotherapy should not be painful, but some discomfort may be experienced during or after the treatment. Physiotherapists will minimise discomfort and work within your pain tolerance. You should always communicate with your physiotherapist if you feel pain or discomfort during the treatment.
