The Independent General Practice - Physiotherapy
The IGP was the first Private GP Practice in Wales to be Registered with the HIW (Health Inspectorate Wales).
There are a number of benefits to companies providing a physiotherapy service for their employees. Including:
A comprehensive assessment report is written for all employees, which outlines the prognosis of the injury / condition. This allows for:
The employer to closely monitor progress and plan for return to work or for continued absence.
Early intervention will greatly improve the patient's recovery or prevent a condition from developing to the point at which the employee requires sick leave.
Expert assessment of workplace: our physiotherapists are qualified to assess the working environment and suggest when an employee is fit to return to their specific job or identify a short term / light duty alternative. This will ensure that the employee returns to work as soon as possible rather than waiting until they are 100% recovered, which is most often unnecessary. Our physiotherapists also work proactively with employers to identify risk factors, make appropriate changes and therefore reduce the risk of sickness / injury.
Providing a physiotherapy service ensures employees follow the most appropriate course of action / treatment to minimise time off work.
Some employees may be anxious about whether they are ready to return to work or whether they are risking further injury. This group of employees would also benefit from the professional reassurance of our physiotherapists which would make their return to work far less stressful and therefore more successful.
