Injury prevention: workplace screening sessions
Injury prevention is your obligation
Did you know that 7 to 8 weeks of working time are lost due to workplace injury in Australia?
Your workplace does not have to be part of that statistic.
Education and practicality
As an employer, you have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace with policies and procedures in place. You can do your utmost to prevent injuries before they happen and maximise your performance with Altaira Health & Wellbeing Centre’s injury prevention screening sessions. These sessions empower participants to recognise early signs of injury, correct poor biomechanics, and improve body balance. Whether you’re focused on excelling at work, dominating your sport, or simply staying active, our expert physiotherapists provide the tools and strategies to stay injury-free and perform at your best.
Led by a skilled Altaira physiotherapist, each session combines education and practical solutions. They will explain general rehabilitation principles, common injuries that occur, the contributing factors towards them, and most importantly – what can be done to for injury prevention and consistently perform at your highest level. No matter the activity.
Injury prevention sessions
At the start of this session, the physiotherapist will run through a series of assessments specifically designed to detect pain and/or abnormalities in commonly injured areas of the body. The physiotherapist will assist with individual techniques as required and provide further advice for specific musculoskeletal complaints that may arise.
Each participant will be provided with an individual self-assessment sheet. This will help identify key problem areas and symptoms. Following this, participants can expect a demonstration of common exercises and strengthening routines that are most relevant to them, their body, history, and application, whether it’s for work or play.
