Back to Work - back care awareness class

Lower back pain affects a very large portion of the workforce, from clerical and administrative staff to labourers, and results in increasing numbers of lost workdays each year.

In aiming to minimise these problems, Physio at Work has developed Back to Work seminars offering an educational program focussing on the prevention and management of manual handling injuries, particularly back problems, in the workplace.

The structure of the program is tailored to the individual needs of the company, in light of the particular working conditions and the nature of injuries most commonly suffered by employees.

The Back to Work Seminars are interactive and educational. They are conducted by a Physio at Work Physiotherapist, and are best suited for up to 15 staff members.

The seminar incorporates concepts such as the basic anatomy of the back, causes of injury, prevention of injury and appropriate rehabilitation options. The seminar raises awareness amongst employees on ways to avoid and manage back injuries both in the workplace and outside of work.

Participants are encouraged to practice exercises demonstrated throughout the seminar each day as an effective means of back injury and promotion of a healthy, positive working environment .
