Occupational Rehabilitation   Each year in the U.K. over 2.8 million people suffer from work related ill health. Almost two thirds of these cases are musculoskeletal or stress disorders. The cost to employers is estimated to be between £3.9-7.8 billion / year and the cost to society is 320-£31.8 billion / year. Typically the types of problems that occur are postural or lifting related back and neck pain, repetitive strain injuries, strains and sprains, frozen shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle pain or direct trauma such as whiplash.

If you run a business, staff absenteeism due to injury will be an expensive and in many cases avoidable disruption. Do you know how much it costs you? Also, as an employer of injured staff, you may be at risk of litigation claims.

If you have an injury it will give you pain, stop you doing the things you enjoy, may keep you off work and cause financial hardship and can change your whole life.

• Prompt assessment and advice.
