Assessment

A detailed clinical and fitness assessment identifies areas of weakness, stiffness and alterations in posture body mechanics and movement patterns that are contributing to your ongoing problem.

We use functional measurements that show where you are with your strength, mobility and cardiovascular fitness, compared to age and gender related norm’s.

These measurements allow us to show you how you are progressing in your rehabilitation programme and return to work plan, with a work task focus.

Clinic based Rehabilitation Programmes

We run individual and group rehabilitation programmes as part of a return to work/phased return programme, and for general musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Exercises are tailored with a focus on work tasks with the aim to improve physical conditioning, tolerance to load and activity, return to work and prevention of future injury.

On Site Physiotherapy

We offer On Site Physiotherapy Clinics to assess and provide treatment for a range of work related Musculoskeletal issues that affect a person’s ability to work and meet their job demands.

Treatment is tailored to the specific job roles and physical demands with recommendations communicated to referrers (occupational health & line managers).

Fit for the Future

We offer a 1 hour on site Fit for the Future interactive education and testing session.

Specific functional tests are combined with education to provide a overview of employee physical fitness and conditioning against age related norms.

Results may highlight areas of mobility, strength and fitness that can be improved upon for work related job demands and for general health and wellbeing outside of the workplace.

This is an effective session to help reduce work place musculoskeletal disorders which can result in sickness absence.
