Since 2017, we started to get request from organization who wants us to bring awareness pertaining to the injury at work specifically for musculoskeletal disorders. While some still feel it’s common to suffer back pain especially at work, they tend to forget that the pain can affect their lifestyle in just blinking of an eye.

Believe it or not, back pain is one of the most common causes of sickness absence in the workplace. In fact, a staggering 80% of the population will suffer with back pain throughout their life. Not only backpain, a long hour at work also can bring negative effects towards our body system. Some may face with uncomfortable pain due to neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain and all related musculoskeletal pain.

In Malaysia, according to National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, based on statistics from the Social Security Organization (SOCSO), employees who suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, which is a common work-related disorder that has been increasing since 2006. NIOSH proposed an awareness program as one of the ways to reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among workers.

This is the reason why Physiomobile very committed to work hand in hands with all the organisation to ensure the message can be delivered and we can reduce the number of workers suffering with musculoskeletal disorders.
