Work related injuries can develop suddenly following an accident or gradually through repetitive tasks, prolonged sitting, poor posture, heavy lifting, or physically demanding work. Early assessment and targeted physiotherapy can help reduce pain, restore movement, and support a safe return to work.
Work related injuries can have a number of possible causes, including:
Prolonged Desk-based Work
Manual Handling and Lifting
Repetitive Movements (RSI)
Poor Workstation Ergonomics
Physically Demanding Occupations
Driving for Long Periods
Muscle and Joint Overuse
Workplace Accidents
Every workplace injury is different. Our physiotherapists carry out a detailed assessment to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms before creating a personalised rehabilitation programme to support your recovery and return to work.
