Musculoskeletal (MSK) Services

Musculoskeletal services within the realm of occupational health play a pivotal role in both the management of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and the proactive prevention of these conditions. MSDs, which affect muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and other soft tissues, are among the most common work-related health problems.

These disorders can significantly impact employee productivity, lead to long-term health issues, and increase absenteeism. Effective musculoskeletal services are therefore essential for maintaining a healthy workforce and minimising the economic and social impacts of MSDs.

Our professional team of Physiotherapists are chartered and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics (ACPOHE).

Ideal for:

Routine back, neck and other MSK issues caused by, or exacerbated by, work
Supporting employees back to work after a strain, injury or illness
