Curb back pain , improve your bottom line
Did you know that 15 % of employee work absences are associated with back pain and according to the British Medical Journal , 32 % of those are absences for up to a month and more . When not properly managed , employee absenteeism can become a threat to your business , with frequent , unscheduled and longterm absence affecting productivity , service delivery and the overall morale of the staff . It can also have a negative impact on your bottom line . Musculoskeletal conditions contribute to the £ 100 billion a year that the UK economy loses due to sickness absence each year .
‘ Lower back pain is the leading cause of workplace disability in the UK and a staggering 12 m working days are lost due to back pain every year in the UK ’ - British Chiropractic Association ( BCA )
At The Core , the forward-thinking physiotherapy and wellness clinic in Bath , was founded with one ambition - to help keep the people of Bath moving . Specialising in arthritis , back and joint pain and tissue healing , the clinic has an innovative therapy that has helped a number of patients mitigate back pain and get back both to work and the physical activities they enjoy .
MBST ® therapy is a unique physiotherapy adjunct that is designed to relieve long-term pain and improve mobility , especially in patients suffering from musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis , osteoporosis or intervertebral disc conditions and chronic back pain .
MBST ® therapy promotes tissue and bone healing by exciting cells at a molecular level , encouraging cell proliferation . Months might pass until a bone , muscle or tendon is properly healed as cell metabolism can be slow . MBST ® therapy can speed tissue healing by stimulating cells to trigger the body ’ s own repair process . By encouraging cell proliferation , healing time is reduced , and safe return to movement , and work , is facilitated .
At The Core , Bath is one of only 14 clinics in the UK where MBST ® therapy is available . Former patients , including local business owner Matt Leonard , Director of Winkwork Bath , have shared their positive experiences of MBST ® therapy . Matt recently underwent a course of MBST ® therapy for pain in his back associated with prolapsed discs . After an unsuccessful appointment with his GP 12 years previously , he had lived with pain ever since . It had started to affect his every day life , even small actions like getting into the car were beginning to cause him acute pain . After a course of MBST ® therapy , he is back from a skiing holiday and looking forward to the golf season ahead .
Former professional footballer turned TV pundit Franny Benali suffered limited range of movement and pain due to a lower back injury . It was difficult to put his socks on some days . He says of his MBST ® treatment , ‘ I ’ ve seen a huge difference in range of movement , even during treatment and I am looking forward to the further improvements this will make to my life ’.
