At Corporate Personal Wellbeing we work hard to prevent injuries from happening to our clients’ employees.
Our bodies go through a lot each day, working at desks, in a manual job, everything we do strains a part of the body.
To prevent these injuries, we treat clients with massage, stretching and advice to make their day more comfortable.
Prevention is a great technique to help businesses retain staff and help employees feel better in their working environment, resulting in higher levels of productivity.
As well as prevention, our sports therapists and physiotherapists treat injuries, old or new. These injuries can be treated with massages, pressure pointing, stretching and sometimes with the aid of sports tape.
The common injuries are:
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica symptoms
- Twisted ankles
- Shoulder pain or ‘frozen shoulder’
- Neck pain or headaches
How do we treat common injuries at work?
The best way to treat one of the above injuries is to self-treat until you can call an expert. Use RICE:
- Rest
- Ice
- Compression
- Elevation
Contact one of our sports therapists or physiotherapists and they will then, evaluate, treat and assess the injury.
This is done through a variety of techniques including, massaging the muscles affected. This allows the muscles to relax, extend and increase the range of motion.
Mobility to the muscles to assess the movement of the joint and muscle. This can identify the muscles causing pain or the initial point of issue.
Correct stretching increases range of motion, increases mobility and allows the muscles to relax and repair.
Pressure pointing to release tension quickly – instantly improving movement.
Taping to support the muscles and realign the posture.
We treat clients from professional athletes to those with a sedentary life. No matter what the pain or injury we are here to help and advise.
Issues that have been there for years and you ‘just get used to it’ can be improved if not resolved by a sports therapist or physiotherapist.
If it happened yesterday, it is best to get a professional opinion. If an injury is left to ‘see how it goes’ it can develop into a chronic injury or affect other muscles causing issues in other parts of the body. For example, if you ‘roll your ankle’ whilst running or playing a sport, you will naturally limp and use your other leg more if the injury isn’t treated.
This can cause pain in the non-injured leg and lower back and hip issues from the extra strain of the extra pressure.
Those little niggles can turn into something more, so please get them seen to straight away.
