Inverurie Chartered Physiotherapy Clinic

Back Pain

Over 80% of the population will suffer from back pain at some point in their life. These people work in all types of industries from those involved in heavy manual tasks to sedentary workers who spend long periods of time at a workstation.

In 2001/2002 an estimated 5.7 million working days were lost due to back pain.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD’s)

MSD’s affect muscles, joints, tendons and other parts of the musculoskeletal system. They are the most common occupational illness in Great Britain affecting 1.1 million people a year.

Inverurie Chartered Physiotherapy Clinic (ICPC) is keen to establish partnerships with local businesses to help them manage one of the biggest causes of absence from work.

We aim to:-

help prevent and minimise the incidence of MSD in the work place
provide early access to physiotherapy
provide evidence based treatments involving the patient’s actively in their rehabilitation
work with employers and employees to help patient’s stay at work or return as soon as is possible
encourage physical activity, good posture and self-management strategies at work and at home

Evidence shows the longer a person is off work the less likely they are to return.
