TxOH physiotherapy service provides organisations with many benefits including;
Organisations that commission our physiotherapy services can expect the following results:
An operator at a grocery products company in Manchester and Liverpool reported lower back pain. The individual’s GP advised postural exercises and restricted his workplace duties. The following week the individual went off sick for a total of six months and had rehabilitation for the further two months which cost the company eight months salary.
Following a consultation with a occupational health service provider it was agreed onsite physiotherapy would aid a reduction in absenteeism. Additionally the occupational health service established an effective referral protocol from the company's own occupational health unit to the new onsite physiotherapy clinic. The physiotherapists provided one to one assessment and treatment programmes in addition to manual handling training and ergonomic support.
Six months following the introduction of onsite physiotherapy the same individual complained of lower back pain and went off sick. He was referred to the onsite physiotherapy service and returned to work within one month followed by a rehabilitation period of 2 weeks. The salary cost of this time off to the company was only 6 weeks. The comparison between the two sick periods taken by this employee shows the onsite physiotherapy service reduced the cost of absenteeism by over 80% and provided him with rapid, specialist treatment.
