“I am just loving my ambidextrous rollermouse and keyboard setup, it really has changed my life and my productivity! I had genuinely never ever heard of such a thing as a roller mouse, but it has made such a difference, it’s like it was designed especially for me. And thanks to having a better chair I am now a lot more active in my movement and posture at my sit/stand desk. I have noticed a difference at the end of the day, I no longer ache when I leave the office and sit on the sofa, and I am sleeping much better now that I do not ache so much in my joints and muscles. Thank you again!"

“I was naturally sceptical when Back in Action was presented to us. The fixed sessions I thought maybe too much cost and time. I am happy to be proved wrong:. we have seen a gradual decline in our absenteeism rates for musculoskeletal issues and we are more proactive in sorting out smaller ailments preventing them from becoming a more long term problem that leads to time off work. All our staff and operatives know that the Physio service is the first post of call and we have a very good Physio who is fully aware of the strains and stress we place on our workforce.”

“We really value the Back in Action service and I'm honestly not sure how we used to manage without it. The operatives role is very physically demanding and involves a significant amount of manual handling on a daily basis. As a result the staff often suffer from minor manual handling ailments but the Back in Action service has helped to reduce this massively.
There are the obvious benefits of treating staff who have injuries which rapidly speeds their recovery time and massively reduces sickness and absence and we've benefited from this on many occasions over the last few years. However there are also other benefits which may go unnoticed by the business.
Martina our Back in Action physiotherapist has helped to educate the staff in the correct manual handling techniques to prevent injuries in the first place. She has carried out workplace reviews on site which has led to changes in the way some tasks are carried out, and improvements to some of the tools we provide for the staff to use. She has also conducted practical workplace assessments for drivers by assessing their cab layout, seating setup, and improving how they sit to improve their posture. She has also completed a workplace assessment to identify improvements we can make to the working environment for our operatives who also suffer from a lot of repetitive strain and manual handling type ailments.
All of these things have actively prevented and reduced the number of minor ailments and injuries happening to our staff. We've also benefited from expert advice with difficult cases by helping to identify adjusted duties for individuals with injuries so they can continue to work whilst they recover. Having the clinic on site also serves as a reminder to the staff of how seriously we take their welfare, and it is a benefit which all of our staff value and are glad to receive.”

“One key benefit for me of having an onsite physiotherapist is that they develop a better understanding of the work we do and are therefore able to better tailor their advice when considering whether an employee is fit to work and what adjustments may be required. This is very helpful when attempting to get an employee back to work at the earliest opportunity. The service provided by Back in Action is a key part of our absence management toolkit.”

“I have always been very pleased with the service provided by Back in Action. It demonstrates our commitment and care for staff the value of which cannot be underestimated. It also provides a way to get staff back to work more quickly after an injury than if they are left to their own devices. This has a direct positive impact on our profitability.”

“Back In Action provide an invaluable service to our business. They have been crucial in getting employees back to work quickly after both workplace and out of work injuries. Our operative employees see the service as a tangible benefit of working for our Company- one that they would be unlikely to enjoy elsewhere. Every employee I have referred to the service has given excellent feedback on the quality and success of physiotherapy provided.”

“I believe the service Back in Action UK provide is invaluable; be it helping staff with injuries back to work, helping manage absence or preventative assessments of working practices. The key advantage for us is that the Back in Action team understand the business and the people that work here perfectly and so deal with each individual accordingly”

" We have been using Back in Action for 6 months with significant success across the demographic of employees. Our industry sector is high risk added to the manual nature of our business which requires us to support our ageing workforce. Craig our physiotherapist has become part of the team and has supported and helped our employees through some difficult physical issues and prevented periods of absence from work.
I personally have used the service and also my colleagues certainly value the Back in Action physiotherapy service and it has assisted us operationally but also emotionally as the workforce feel valued and demonstrates that we care about their health and wellbeing... this added value should not be underestimated".
