Q: Why do I need the services of a physiotherapist?
It makes financial sense
Look at the facts:
| The single largest cause of absence from work or poor performance is back pain and related disorders. |
| The direct cost to UK employers in excess of £5 billion. |
| Unreported injuries and hidden costs affecting business productivity are estimated to be 200-500% greater. |
| 70% of illnesses or injuries get worse without early treatment. |

"Employers have a legal and moral responsibility to prevent RSI and back strain. But they also have a financial responsibility to their firms, and our research suggests they don't even know how much the RSI / back strain epidemic is costing them. If they knew the truth, I'm sure they would want to do something positive about it"
