Our clients are innovative companies — particularly those in manufacturing, food processing and FMGC brand leaders — who value their staff yet keep a sharp eye on their overheads and potential liabilities. These companies take a proactive approach in the management of workplace injury prevention and treatment, using our services to make a significant difference in the following areas.

REDUCED COSTS

We reduce the cost of Workers’ Compensation claims by:

• Reducing the duration of injury and therefore the number of rehab days
  
• Reducing the cost of medical expenses by eliminating the need for costly imaging or surgery
  
• Reducing the number of workers on total incapacity, which reduces the statutory claims cost and increases operational flexibility

REDUCED CLAIMS

We reduce the number of Workers’ Compensation claims by:

• Treating workers early in the cumulative injury cycle, thereby preventing an escalation of the injury that would necessitate a claim being lodged 
  
• Creating a closed injury management system that ensures that the employer is aware of each worker’s injury status, their diagnosis and their functional capacity

REDUCED LOST TIME DAYS

We reduce the number of lost time days by:

• Focusing on ability not disability thereby keeping workers in their usual work environment
• Implementing quick return to work programs without the need for total incapacity
• Understanding the job demands, physical demands, skills required and environmental conditions of workers

RESOLVING INJURIES

We fix injured workers because our treatment providers:

• Have specialised training in the treatment of soft tissue injuries
• Restore function and remove pain on the day of treatment
• Understand the biomechanics of how and why workers break down

INCREASED CONTROL

We give you back control of the rehabilitation and return to work process by:

• Simplifying the injury management process
• Enabling the employer to be central to all injury management issues
• Giving the employer ownership and control of the rehabilitation and return to work process through detailed and timely reporting

PREVENTING SURGERIES

The Soft Tissue Centre has an enviable reputation for resolving complex conditions such as impingement/compartment syndromes, tears and peripheral nerve entrapment's, and returning these injured workers back to their pre-injury duties without the need for surgery.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

We increase worker morale and productivity

• On-site treatment increases worker morale as less people are working in pain and fewer workers are on light duties
• Employer / employee relationships are more positive as the employees appreciate access to effective treatment as soon as they are injured
