The Ergonomic Workshop That Can Reduce Injury at Work
If you’re familiar with the programmes at OH One, then you may be aware that our team of specialist nurses cover programmes to help support you and your staff.
Some of these programmes cover resilience and mental health, while others target physical health. One programme, in particular, is our ergonomic workshop that reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injury.
What is musculoskeletal injury?
Currently, 1.71 billion people suffer with musculoskeletal injury worldwide. These conditions are often diagnosed as a pain that limits mobility, dexterity, and functioning.
These injuries can take form in many areas of the body, for example:
The joints.
The bones.
The spine.
And multiple body areas or systems.
Ergonomic workshops
Our ergonomic workshops are curated in mind to help alleviate musculoskeletal pain and disruption from employees’ work lives.
OH One nurses will work to understand your employees’ pain; the causes of it; and the impact it has on their workload. From this, we’ll create a personalised plan to ease the pain they’re feeling so that they can manage their workload easier and take new jobs on.
Over time, they may find themselves free of pain or, at least, living a life with a new perspective and coping mechanisms.
A few ways to ease musculoskeletal injuries…
Before trying to ease any of the pain you feel on your own, it’s always worth visiting the doctor to ensure that your diagnosis is correct and that you wouldn’t be doing your body more harm than good by trying to alleviate the pain.
Often many of the treatments for musculoskeletal injuries include:
Physical therapy
Pain medication
Acupuncture
Relaxation techniques
Our team do not prescribe medicine, but instead, focus on how to limit the risks of injuries in the workplace and how to ease the pain you may be feeling.
The goal of OH One is to create safe spaces for your employees to thrive and live high-quality lives.
