  The latest Health and Safety Executive statistics published (1) show that over one million people a year are affected by Musculoskeletal Disorders making them the most common occupational illness, costing employers 11.6 million days in sick leave. These injuries include neck and back pain, joint injuries and repetitive strain problems.
 		        
         
         
         
         
  David Roberts Physiotherapy has, for the last 21 years, worked in partnership with a number of employers to help to tackle the growing problem of Musculoskeletal Disorders in the work place. We offer the same level of care to our corporate clients that we would do to our private and sports clients. This gives the employer the knowledge that they, with our help and expertise, are looking after their employees in a professional way.          
           
           
           
           
               
  In conjunction with the employer and the employee an individual programme including injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation can be quickly implemented minimising time off work. As well as reduced sickness absence other benefits of the service include improved morale, increased productivity and higher staff retention.          
           
           
           
               
               
  We can advise all companies on safe systems of work in relation to moving and handling, including risk assessments in offices, shops and factories.

We can work with the employer on-site or within our own clinical environment.

  “The service provided by David Roberts Physiotherapy means that all of our workforce receive prompt and appropriate treatment minimising any absence from work and providing a superior level of care for all of our employees. Where any issues have arisen in the workplace onsite visits and workstation evaluations by Keith Johnstone have led to a speedy resolution. The result has been a significant reduction in sickness absence and we have been commended by the HSE for effectiveness and efficiency with which any musculoskeletal issues are dealt. I would not hesitate to recommend David Roberts Physiotherapy to any company.”
