Can Physiotherapy Help Work-Related Injuries?
Can Physiotherapy Help Work-Related Injuries? In today’s fast-paced world, many people spend long hours at work — sitting at desks, standing for prolonged periods, lifting heavy loads, or performing repetitive movements. Over time, these activities can lead to work-related injuries, affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, and the spine.
These injuries not only cause pain and discomfort but can also reduce productivity, increase stress, and limit your ability to enjoy daily activities.
Common Types of Work-Related Injuries
1. Lower Back Pain:
This is the most common complaint among office workers and manual laborers. Poor posture, prolonged sitting, or lifting objects incorrectly can strain the back muscles and spinal discs.
2. Neck and Shoulder Pain:
Caused by bad ergonomics, slouching over computers, or holding phones between the ear and shoulder. This leads to muscle tightness, stiffness, and sometimes headaches.
3. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI):
Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, or wrist tendinitis occur due to repetitive motions such as typing, using a mouse, or assembly line work.
4. Knee and Leg Pain:
Common in people who stand for long hours (e.g., teachers, health workers, sales attendants). Prolonged standing causes pressure on joints, leading to swelling and fatigue.
5. Shoulder and Arm Injuries:
Often occur in people who lift heavy materials or perform overhead tasks. This can lead to rotator cuff injuries, tendinitis, or bursitis.
Effects of Work-Related Injuries
- Reduced range of motion and flexibility
- Loss of productivity and income
- Increased risk of long-term musculoskeletal disorders
- Ignoring these injuries can make them worse over time, potentially leading to chronic pain or disability.
