Work Injury

Work-related injuries can have a significant impact on your ability to perform your job and maintain your quality of life outside of work. At Physioform Cammeray, we have experience supporting workers recovering from a range of occupational injuries, providing evidence-based physiotherapy to help you recover and return to work safely.
About This Condition
Work injuries can arise from a single incident such as a heavy lift or a fall, or from cumulative strain that builds over time due to repetitive tasks, awkward postures or excessive physical demand. Common work-related conditions include back pain, shoulder injuries, neck pain, upper limb overuse injuries and more. Early intervention is key to achieving the best possible outcome.
Common Causes
  • Heavy manual handling and lifting
  • Repetitive tasks involving the upper limbs
  • Sustained or awkward postures over long periods
  • Slips, trips and falls in the workplace
  • Vibration exposure from tools or machinery
  • Overexertion during physical work
Common Symptoms
  • Pain in the back, neck, shoulder, arm or leg related to work activity
  • Muscle strain or joint pain following a specific incident
  • Gradual onset of pain from repetitive or cumulative strain
  • Reduced ability to perform work tasks due to pain or weakness
  • Fatigue or discomfort associated with specific job demands
