Corporate Health and Safety
Corporate health and safety is now of paramount importance to all companies who have a legal duty of care to ensure the health and welfare of their staff. As a centre of excellence for integrated health services, we regularly treat a wide range of work based conditions including back pain and head pain. We also offer counselling services on work related issues such as absenteeism and stress in the workplace.
Many of our services can be offered on-site for your convenience.
Work Station Assessments
Our osteopath attends the workplace to carry out a twenty minute, one-to-one consultation which assesses and provides recommendations on the individual’s workplace. The session focuses on the workstation and examines desk and monitor height, chair set up, phone position, as well as the surrounding environment including lighting and noise. It also focuses on posture of the individual concerned. All of these issues can pose potential hazards to health and can cause musculo-skeletal disorders. A comprehensive report is provided to the employee and to the employer.
Postural Assessments
Our chiropractor attends the workplace and carries out a 15 minute individual posture consultation. Those involved receive a written report on their posture, plus an advice and exercise sheet. These assessments can be performed as part of a company health awareness day.
Musculoskeletal Disorders
We have an excellent musculoskeletal team of physiotherapists including a podiatrist who can treat a wide variety of conditions including veruccas, ingrowing toenails, to issues of a more biomechanical nature such as knee, ankle and heel problems. Acupuncture which has been shown to be effective can also treat back and neck pain as well as osteopathy, chiropractor and massage.
Other Services
We have a range of other services including a team of nutritionists, sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy and pregnancy massage, reflexology, shiatsu, herbal medicine, homeopathy and a gyrotonics/pilates studio which is useful for stress relief, strength and rehabilitation programmes.
A company may wish to provide a contribution to any of our services and treatments for their employees, alternatively employees can arrange and pay for these services on an individual basis.
Health Awareness Days
In conjunction with The Third Space Pilates and Fitness teams, we can provide advice and demonstrations to your company as part of your own company health awareness plan. Please ask for further information.
Health Insurance
Some of our practitioners are covered on private health insurance. All practitioners should be checked with the insurer first to make sure they are covered before treatment commences. The main services that insurers cover are physiotherapy, osteopathy, counselling, homeopathy, acupuncture and external specialists via GP referral.
