Occupational Health Physiotherapy
Supporting Workplace Health, Safety, and Productivity
At Premier Therapy Clinic, we provide expert Occupational Health (OH) Physiotherapy services in Tunbridge Wells, helping employers and employees create safer, healthier, and more productive workplaces.
Our Occupational Health physiotherapists work collaboratively with employers, employees, HR teams, health professionals, and workplace designers to minimise work-related injuries, promote wellbeing at work, and improve return-to-work outcomes after illness or injury.
What Is Occupational Health Physiotherapy?
Occupational Health Physiotherapy focuses on the relationship between work, health, and performance.
It involves assessing how job demands, equipment, and the work environment affect a person’s physical and mental wellbeing — and implementing strategies to reduce risk, improve recovery, and enhance work efficiency.
Physiotherapists in Occupational Health help prevent and manage:
- Musculoskeletal disorders (e.g. back, neck, or shoulder pain)
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Postural issues from desk-based work
- Work-related stress, fatigue, or anxiety
- Chronic pain and long-term conditions affecting work capability
Why Occupational Health Is Important
Employment plays a vital role in a person’s physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Returning to work after an illness or injury not only supports financial stability but also helps rebuild confidence, independence, and a sense of purpose.
Our Occupational Health Physiotherapy services aim to support employees through recovery and help employers build healthier, safer workplaces — reducing absenteeism and improving morale and performance.
Our Approach
As Occupational Health specialists, we understand how closely health and work performance are connected.
Our key objectives are to:
- Maintain and improve workers’ health and work capability
- Enhance workplace environments to make them safer and more ergonomic
- Encourage supportive work cultures that value wellbeing and social connection
- Reduce workplace-related injuries, pain, and stress
- Improve productivity and overall job satisfaction
Our physiotherapists have extensive experience in managing both physical and psychological conditions related to work — including stress, depression, anxiety, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
We design individual and organisational strategies to reduce absenteeism and promote productivity across all types of workplaces.
