Workplace Physical Therapy

No matter the job or the industry, all workers are at some risk of injury. From sitting at a desk for 9 hours of the day and filing, to stock management and materials handling, there will be some level of physical strain placed on the body, thereby leaving employees susceptible to injury, whether that be a minor strain, or a serious back injury.

Currently, around 3.1 million cases of nonfatal workplace injuries are reported each year, which is about 2.5 cases for every 100 workers. These cases account for the vast majority of lost workdays, and the subsequent lost wages can sorely cost an employer.

So how can Physical Therapy NYC help?

Physical Therapy NYC are able to provide organisations with on-site physical therapy, and have been doing so for the past 10 years.

It is our goal to educate workplaces and to help them to promote a healthy and safe work environment. To achieve this goal, we firmly believe it is important to not only treat employee’s current symptoms, but to also take preventative measures to avoid future injuries. It is through early diagnosis that we can help avoid Worker’s Compensation claims within your workplace.

Having worked specifically with the Hearst Corporation in NYC, Colgate-Palmolive and The Economist, we believe we have successfully reduced cases of workplace injury in both employees and employers alike. Consequently, employee time off work has been significantly minimised and organisations are able to avoid the costs of insurance claims and associated premiums.

Utilising the services of an on-site physical therapist can benefit your organisations in many ways, including:

A decrease in employee absentees

Decreased injury expenses, thereby saving you thousands
A decrease in worker’s compensation insurance premiums
More productive employees
Helping to facilitate better employee-employer relationships
