WORK PLACE INJURY

A workplace injury is an injury that occurs while an individual is performing their job duties in the workplace. It can include physical injuries, such as cuts or broken bones, or it can include psychological injuries, such as stress or depression, caused by work-related factors. On the other hand, physical injuries may lead to mental breakdown.

In the event of an unfortunate event, you can trust Finch Gate Physiotherapy, one of the leading physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinics. Our team is dedicated to providing excellent service at all times. To ensure a healthy & successful recovery, we will coordinate with your primary care physician or surgeon.

  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Repetitive motions or overexertion
  • Exposure to hazardous materials or chemicals
  • Improper use of equipment or machinery

Physiotherapy is crucial for work place injury

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the recovery and rehabilitation process after a workplace injury. Our physiotherapist at Finch Gate Physiotherapy can reduce pain and swelling. Techniques such as manual therapy, massage, and heat or cold therapy can help reduce pain and swelling associated with an injury.

Our physiotherapy treatment also promotes healing by stimulating blood flow to the injured area. Physiotherapy exercises directed by our registered physiotherapy and massage therapists can help improve range of motion, flexibility, & overall mobility, allowing the individual to return to their normal daily activities and work duties.

Physiotherapy exercises can help strengthen the injured area by reducing the risk of further injury and improving overall physical functions. Physiotherapy can also help prevent re-injury by addressing any underlying factors that may have contributed to the original injury, such as poor posture.

Why OTC knee braces are not a good option

  • OTC knee braces are designed to fit a wide range of individuals, but they may not provide the best fit.
  • Without proper fit, OTC knee braces may not provide optimal support and may not be effective.
  • OTC knee braces may not be as durable and comfortable as custom-made knee braces

For these reasons, it's recommended that individuals who require knee support consult with us. It's important to note that not all knee braces are the same, and the type and level of support offered will depend on the specific knee condition and individual needs. At Finch Gate Physiotherapy, we pride ourselves on providing each patient with individualized care.
