Workplace injuries can happen unexpectedly, no matter how careful we are. Whether it’s a slip, fall, muscle strain, or repetitive stress injury, these incidents can affect not just your body, but also your ability to work and live comfortably. At Legend Physiotherapy Surrey, we understand how important it is for you to heal properly and return to your job with confidence. That’s why we offer personalized and evidence-based Workplace Injury Therapy in Surrey to help you recover quickly and prevent future problems.
Understanding Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can happen in any job – from construction and warehouse work to office and retail environments. Common causes include:
- Lifting heavy objects improperly
- Repetitive motions like typing or scanning
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Prolonged sitting or poor posture
- Workplace accidents or equipment malfunction
Even a minor injury, if left untreated, can lead to chronic pain or disability. That’s why early intervention through physiotherapy is so important.
Common Types of Workplace Injuries We Treat
Our expert physiotherapists in Surrey are experienced in treating a wide range of work-related injuries, including:
1. Back and Neck Pain
Often caused by lifting, sitting for long hours, or poor ergonomics, back and neck pain are common issues. We use hands-on therapy, stretching, strengthening, and posture training to relieve pain and prevent it from coming back.
2. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs)
Jobs involving repetitive tasks can cause strain in the wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow are common in such cases. Our therapy focuses on reducing inflammation and improving joint mobility.
3. Shoulder Injuries
From rotator cuff strains to frozen shoulder, shoulder injuries are especially common in physically demanding jobs. Our physiotherapists create specific treatment plans to restore range of motion and strength.
4. Knee and Ankle Injuries
Twists, falls, or uneven surfaces can lead to injuries in the lower limbs. Whether it’s a ligament sprain or joint pain, we’ll help you heal with guided exercises and manual therapy.
5. Post-Surgical Rehab
If you’ve had surgery following a workplace injury, we provide tailored post-operative rehabilitation to restore your strength, flexibility, and function safely.
