As experts in the field of occupational physiotherapy we look at the wider picture of health care in the work place. We know that it is necessary to thoroughly address the various contributing factors to a musculoskeletal injury and not just treat the symptoms in a clinic. In essence we adopt a pro-active rather than reactive philosophy to health care.
