Occupational Injuries

Understanding Occupational Injuries

Occupational injuries are injuries that occur in the workplace, affecting employees across various industries. These injuries can range from minor strains and sprains to more severe conditions like fractures, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), and back pain. At Azzurro Physiotherapy, we specialise in treating occupational injuries, helping employees recover quickly and safely so they can return to work and normal activities.

We have earned a reputation for effectively managing and resolving occupational injuries, even for those who have found previous treatments ineffective.

What are Occupational Injuries?

Occupational injuries can result from various factors, including:

Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Caused by repetitive motions, such as typing or using a mouse, leading to pain and dysfunction in the hands, wrists, and arms.
Back & Neck Pain: A common issue in the workplace. We are experts in reducing pain but improving your ability to work pain-free too.
Sprains and Strains: Resulting from slips, trips, and falls, or overexertion during manual tasks.
Fractures: Due to falls or accidents involving heavy machinery.
Joint Pain: Resulting from repetitive tasks or poor ergonomics.
