Returning to Work after an Injury? How physiotherapy can help

The thought of going back to work after an injury, work-related or not, can feel a little unnerving. The time spent absent from work can depend on both the severity of the injury and the length of the recovery period. Getting early physiotherapy treatment can help in your recovery time and help you return to work as soon as you are capable.Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when an individual has been suffering with an injury, illness, chronic pain or a disability. Our Chartered Physiotherapists use physical means such as exercise, manipulation, mobilization, massage and electrical modalities to help patients achieve their full potential.It is important that you keep a positive, motivated attitude before you return to work. Depending on the nature of your injury it may take time before you are able to undertake certain activities in your job description. Therefore, it is important that both you and your employer are aware of the types of duties that you will be capable of doing upon your return.Here at Ballsbridge Physiotherapy Clinic, we offer a wide range of services that can help you in your recovery process such as manual therapy and dry needling. Our sports clinic can advise you on treatment for many sports related injuries and provide information on how to prevent reoccurrence of the injury in the future. Some of our other treatments on offer also include pilates classes and functional training.We also offer a programme that promotes wellness at work. This programme provides your company with on site physiotherapy. By providing ease of access, people are more likely to seek advice and treatment earlier. One of the main motivators for adopting this programme is that it may be linked to greater productivity and reduction in long-term health care costs. Feel free to contact us here if you have any questions and would like to know more about the services that we offer.
