Managing any musculo-skeletal disorder within your workforce can have a significant cost advantage, not least a positive impact on reducing sickness absence and employee litigation.

 

We can provide on-site support for individuals or training for groups of workers, to off-site referrals at our affiliated musculo-skeletal centres across the UK.

 

Our physiotherapists will assess the pain, diagnose the problem and help the individual understand what’s wrong.  They will work with the employee to develop an effective treatment plan and rehabilitation programme which will include advice on how to help themselves, for example, exercises they can do at home.  This intervention can help to significantly reduce the amount of time away from work.

 

Through our comprehensive workstation assessments Soma can reduce your employees exposure to musculo-skeletal disorders.  This can be in the form of a self-assessment by the individual to a full assessment with the Occupational Advisor or Physiotherapist.  We can fast track problem cases, advise on any change of duties, to purchasing ergonomic equipment correct for the user.
