Did you know that according to the most recent available WorkCover statistical bulletin back injuries accounted for 23% of the 6089 major injuries in NSW?

As the most common type of injury experienced by NSW employees it is important that you, as an employer, are able to provide the correct intervention to ensure your back-injured employee recovers and returns to productivity quickly. Injury Treatment, through their team of Physiotherapists, is pleased to be able to offer employers access to a state of the art intervention known as ViMove. Under the intervention ViMove sensors are used to record your employee’s low back movement, postures and muscle activation over the course of a work day.

Using the data collected the ViMove Physiotherapist will analyse the movement patterns of your injured employee at work. Activities and postures that might be contributing to symptom are identified and tailored advice provided regarding manual handling, task design and suitable duties. The result is that your employee is less likely to experience hiccups with their recovery and return to work!

If you would like to find out more about how ViMove, or other workplace based Physiotherapy interventions, can help your employees return to or continue at work please contact Injury Treatment on 1300 622 734.
