Getting hurt at work doesn’t always happen suddenly. It might build up — a stiff neck, sore wrist, or back pain that slowly gets worse over time. Sometimes it’s a fall or a lift gone wrong. Either way, work-related injuries can get in the way of doing your job properly — and doing the things you enjoy outside of it too.
Lower back pain, shoulder issues, carpal tunnel, neck strain — they’re all common. And if they’re left too long without treatment, they often stick around longer than they need to.
It’s not just the injury — it’s the way it starts to chip away at your routine. Maybe you’re moving slower without meaning to, avoiding certain tasks, or finishing the day more worn out than usual. Over time, even small issues can build into bigger ones if nothing changes. That’s why early support matters. The sooner we catch what’s going on, the easier it is to stop it from becoming something that follows you home every evening.
How Chartered Physiotherapy Can Help
Some people come in right after they’ve been injured at work. Others wait until the pain starts affecting more than just their job.
Either way, we help figure out what the problem is and how to ease it. What you do for work matters — and so does how the injury happened. We build the plan around that, step by step.
It’s not about ticking boxes — it’s about finding what works in your situation. That might mean hands-on treatment to ease tension, exercises to build support, or practical advice to reduce strain during your day. We also look at how you're moving — not just in the clinic, but in real life — so the changes you make stick. The goal is to help you feel stronger, not just at work, but once you’re home too.
Treatment may include:
-
Postural Assessment & Correction: Spotting strain points and adjusting how you sit, stand, or move.
-
Manual Therapy & Soft Tissue Release: Easing tight muscles and freeing up movement.
-
Exercise-Based Rehabilitation: Building support to stop the problem returning.
-
Pain Management Strategies: Approaches that don’t rely on painkillers.
-
Workplace Ergonomic Advice: Advice on how to tweak your setup or technique to avoid strain.
