Osteopathic Care for Organisations

Good health care policies and procedures increase the well being and productivity of staff. Musculoskeletal problems are a common cause of absenteeism, with 60% of long term sick leavers citing musculoskeletal disorders as the reason for their absence. Back problems are the most common musculoskeletal problem leading to sick leave, with approximately 5 million working days lost as a result of back pain in 2003.

Early care and management of back pain and other injuries contributes to quicker recoveries and fewer work days lost. Osteopathic treatment is widely known to be helpful in the treatment of back pain and other musculoskeletal injuries and is now a part of an integrated approach to health care supported by NHS initiatives.

Devonshire Osteopaths offers priority treatments and other benefits to organisations in the City of London and vicinity. We offer:

• Priority appointments for employees. We would aim to see acute patients the same day either at our clinic or on site if required;
• Corporate discounts for employees, based on the number of staff and likely usage;
• Talks or demonstrations on particular areas of interest, such as back pain, headaches, work station set up and exercise, with practical advice on avoiding injury and promoting health;
• Regularly scheduled on site treatment sessions, such as one morning per week, if demand and conditions allow.

Both Peter Beaumont and Lisa Erickson, the partners at Devonshire Osteopaths, have business and corporate experience and a deep appreciation of the challenges involved in managing employee health programmes and policies.

Devonshire Osteopaths is approved by most insurers.
