Who benefits from the reactivation programme?
This unique service provides benefits such as -
The reactivation programme is not only designed for clients who are injured, but also those “at risk” groups, E.G. individuals who have had frequent work loss due to reoccurrence of the same problem, I.E. acute low back pain.
Recent epidemiological studies have shown that within a typical population lower back pain is very common:
- Within a lifetime >80% of the population will experience LBP for >48hrs
- In 1 month 30-40% of the population >24hrs
- In a year 10% experience LBP>3 months
Therefore the likelihood of function being impaired and work loss due to LBP is very high. Especially as further research has shown that factors including manual handling predisposes an individual to a higher risk of developing Lower Back Pain.
It costs companies and services time and money if patients are unable to reach their full potential in the shortest time frame possible
When individuals are healthy they are happy and this creates decreased demand on practices resources and a positive and productive working environment for businesses
