Why do we need early intervention programs?

The Australian Bureau of statistics revealed that in 2021-22; 497, 300 people had a work-related injury or illness.

In 2020-2021, 87% of serious claims (defined as those claims in which the injury or disease resulted in the employee taking 5 or more days off work but do not include compensated deaths) were for musculoskeletal disorders i.e., 'lifting, pushing, pulling or bending' and sustained strains, sprains, joint and muscular conditions.

However, as it stands we are not using the primary healthcare professionals to look after these injuries.

Early intervention programs within the workplace have been shown to be the most efficient, cost-effective and successful preventative intervention available. At Physiophi, we believe we can deliver quality, efficiency and value for you and your staff.

How can Workplace/Onsite Physiotherapy Services benefit your employees and business?

Did you know that addressing niggles, aches, and pains within 1-7 days can significantly reduce the severity of injuries and prevent them from escalating? In many workplace environments, when an employee is injured, they often turn to the first aid officer and are advised to see a doctor. While this is appropriate for medical conditions, musculoskeletal injuries require the expertise of a physiotherapist. By having an onsite physio available in your workplace, injuries can be assessed and treated immediately, reducing the risk of long-term sick leave, chronic injuries, and degenerative issues.

With an onsite physio, injured employees receive prompt assessments to determine their ability to perform their roles safely. If necessary, the physiotherapist can recommend appropriate alternative duties, ensuring the injured individual remains productive. Additionally, our qualified physiotherapists excel at identifying minor stiffness and strains that, if left untreated, could develop into more serious injuries. By addressing these early-stage issues, our physiotherapists can provide effective treatment and educate individuals on preventive measures to avoid reoccurrence or flare-ups.

Properly managing injuries and minimizing time off work not only benefits the injured employee but also creates a positive ripple effect throughout your workplace. Our effective treatment strategies keep your workforce on the job and active, leading to a healthier and safer work environment. By investing in the health and well-being of your employees, you foster a happier workforce that thrives and performs at their best.

Don't wait for injuries to become a larger problem. Implement our Early Intervention Onsite Physio Program to ensure the immediate assessment, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. Contact us today to learn more and prioritize the health and productivity of your employees. Together, we can build a workplace culture that values employee well-being and sets the stage for success.

It’s more than just treatment…

When a physio works onsite, they not only treat workplace injuries they also work alongside the health and safety team to improve the overall health of the workforce. An onsite physiotherapist has many tools in their tool kit that can be utilised to reduce risk, improve safety, educate the workforce and assist individuals to manage their injuries.

We aim to work with your company and employees to focus on developing a productive, healthy workforce by preventing potential injuries through education, treatment, and training of employees. Through these practices, we strive to achieve a reduction in claims and lost time injuries (LTIs) to ultimately, improve employee health and wellbeing. Thereby reducing company costs of Workcover premiums, re-recruitment, re-training, and loss of productivity.

All in all, early intervention programs are a great way to reduce the risk and severity of workplace injuries, improve employee functional fitness and create positive cultural changes onsite.

We offer a wide range of services to help you recover from injuries and manage chronic conditions.
