Many businesses suffer lost time off work from employees who suffer with back pain.  It is now found that more people have back pain from postural causes such as desk based work and driving than manual lifting jobs. 

Lost time off work is both inconvenient and costs money and in many cases can be prevented.  Atlas offer businesses a back pain and pain relief treatment service at cost effective rates which can reduce lost time off work and cut out NHS waiting lists for physiotherapy.  Atlas are interested in developing links with local businesses who may need support with physiotherapy and musculo-skeletal conditions.

Local GP practices and PCT ‘s in Staffordshire and North Warwickshire are encouraged to contact John Williams on 01827 59943 if they are interested in using Atlas as a provider of cost effective musculo-skeletal pain relief or physiotherapy under the Practice Based Commissioning initiative.

Many businesses report back pain conditions as their number one cause of lost time at work. 

Back pain has many causes but can be as simple as excessive driving, poor seating or workstation positions.  Postural problems and back pain are more common in desk based jobs than in the construction industry.

Driving for long periods can increase the risk of back pain and there are various strategies to address this.  Whiplash type injuries are common following road traffic accidents and need special care if acute pain is present.

A common cause of back pain and RSI is the desktop based workplace.  Many employees sit for long periods slumped over a PC at work or at home.  We all know that time passes so quickly if you are engaged on the PC and before you know it you have been there hours without a break. 

Postural muscles fatigue and you can develop ligament sprains in the low back as they become stretched when your body position slumps.  Neck and shoulder pain is another symptom that affects office based employees and may develop into trapped nerves in the neck or shoulder with pins and needles in the fingers.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is very common in office based jobs where the mouse is used on a desktop PC.  Repeated wrist or finger movements when used excessively will cause tendonitis in the wrist or elbow which is often referred to as “tennis elbow”.  This painful condition is easily treated but if left to become chronic can take longer to resolve.
