Work Related Injuries

Occupational or work related injuries are quite common. Workplace injuries usually occur due to a number of factors which include high-risk jobs, inadequate training and scarcity of safety devices. The injuries can be categorized in different classes depending on severity and nature of job. While some injuries develop over a period of time such as repetitive strain others occur suddenly due to certain events such as a fall.

While some work related injuries are mild and require little medical intervention, some are severe enough to require a change in lifestyle.

If you have been injured at your workplace, your physiotherapist will examine you and decide on the appropriate treatment depending on the type of injury and severity.

Physiotherapy helps injured workers to recover quickly and get back on their feet in the shortest time possible. This approach includes massage, manual therapy techniques, home exercises, acupuncture, stretching and electrotherapy.
