Our team at Petone Physio understand how injuries can affect your performance and participation in different areas of your life.

Preventing Workplace Injuries

Injuries that are in need of physio treatment aren’t always caused by obvious physical trauma, such as falling over or sports strains. Some of the most common injuries are ones you might not even consider in your day to day life, like sitting at a desk 9-to-5, or the effects of chronic bad posture.

A variety of factors influence the likelihood of developing a workplace injury including over-exertion in physical jobs, lack of conditioning, and improper form or desk setup.

Here are some helpful resources from Worksafe that you can follow to help prevent long-term injuries from regular work inconsistencies, and to stay on top of your physical health and wellbeing.
