Ready to start your recovery journey?
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are one of the leading causes of workplace absence and lost productivity across the UK. Occupational health physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment, and prevention of these issues, helping employees return to work safely and effectively while reducing long-term costs for businesses.
The Impact of Musculoskeletal Problems in the Workplace
- MSK disorders account for 28% of all work-related ill health and 27% of all lost working days in the UK (Health and Safety Executive, 2023).
- An estimated 7.3 million working days were lost in a single year due to MSK disorders caused or made worse by work.
- Back pain and repetitive strain injuries are among the most common issues, affecting workers across a wide range of sectors — from manual labour to office-based roles.
How Occupational Health Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapists play a key role in workplace health by:
- Providing early assessment and diagnosis of MSK conditions
- Delivering targeted treatment programmes to aid recovery
- Supporting safe, timely return to work through modified duties and ergonomic advice
- Educating employees on posture, manual handling, and injury prevention
- Advising employers on reasonable adjustments and workplace adaptations
