Workplace Injuries & Ergonomic Physiotherapy

Work-related pain can build slowly over time or start suddenly after lifting, repetitive tasks, or long hours at a desk.

Many people are told to “rest” or “stretch more” — but the symptoms return as soon as work demands increase again.

At Physora Physio, we provide workplace physiotherapy with a movement-based approach. We identify the real drivers behind pain, improve strength and control, and help you return to work comfortably with a clear rehabilitation plan.

Who this pathway is for

This service is ideal if you:

• Have back pain, neck pain or shoulder pain linked to work

• Sit for long periods and feel stiff, tight or uncomfortable

• Have repetitive strain symptoms in the arm, elbow or wrist

• Feel pain during lifting, manual handling or physical work

• Have ongoing symptoms that keep returning

• Want a structured rehab plan and ergonomic guidance

Common workplace-related conditions we treat

We regularly help with:

• Back pain and stiffness

• Sciatica and nerve-related symptoms

• Neck pain and postural strain

• Shoulder pain and rotator cuff overload

• Headaches linked to neck tension

• Elbow pain (tennis elbow / repetitive strain)

• Wrist and hand pain

• Hip and knee pain related to lifting and repetitive load

• Muscle strains and overload injuries

Why workplace pain keeps coming back

Workplace symptoms often persist because:

• Strength and control are not restored

• Movement patterns overload the same area repeatedly

• Ergonomics are not matched to the person

• Workload increases faster than tissue capacity

• The problem is treated as “pain” rather than a movement and loading issue

The goal is not short-term relief — it’s long-term control and prevention.

How we treat workplace injuries

Your plan is based on assessment and progression.

1) Detailed assessment

We assess symptoms, work demands, movement patterns, and the drivers behind your pain.

2) Movement and biomechanical analysis

We assess posture, control, mobility and strength — especially in the areas that matter for your job.

3) Rehabilitation and strength rebuilding

You’ll receive a structured rehab plan focused on:

• strength and stability

• mobility where needed

• control and endurance

• gradual return to full work capacity

4) Return-to-work support

We help you manage flare-ups and build tolerance, so you can work comfortably without recurring setbacks.

Ergonomic and movement screening (when useful)

Depending on your symptoms and job role, we may use:

• Posture and movement assessment

• Squat screening and movement control testing

• Functional movement screening

• Biomechanical analysis

This helps identify the movement habits and strength gaps that often drive workplace-related pain.

What you can expect

This pathway is designed to help you:

• reduce pain and stiffness

• move more comfortably at work

• rebuild strength and control

• prevent recurring flare-ups

• improve confidence with lifting and physical tasks

• return to full function safely
