PRIMUS PHYSIO
Back pain, neck pain and repetitive strain from desk work and manual labour — expert treatment to get you comfortable at work and pain-free at home.
Workplace pain is one of the most common reasons people see a physiotherapist — and one of the most preventable. Whether you sit at a desk all day or perform physical work, sustained postures and repetitive movements place consistent load on specific structures. Over time, the muscles, joints and nerves that bear this load become sensitised and painful. The good news: most workplace pain resolves quickly with the right treatment and some practical changes to how you work.
Your first session is £60 (60 minutes) — assessment, diagnosis and hands-on treatment combined. Follow-up sessions are £40 (30 minutes). Same-week appointments, no GP referral needed.
Workplace pain is rarely caused by one thing — it's usually a combination of posture, load and insufficient movement.
Hours of sitting — even in a 'good' position — fatigues postural muscles and increases load on the lumbar discs. The spine is designed to move, not to stay still.
Screen too low, chair at the wrong height, mouse too far away — small ergonomic issues compound significantly over an 8-hour day.
Repeated movements — typing, assembly, lifting — create cumulative load on specific tendons, muscles and joints that exceeds their capacity over time.
Lifting, carrying or sustained awkward positions in physical jobs place direct load on the spine, shoulders and knees — particularly when technique is compromised by fatigue.
Treatment addresses both the pain and the underlying cause — so it doesn't come back when you return to work.
Understanding exactly what you do at work and how it relates to your pain is the starting point. We identify the specific structures affected and the workplace factors driving them.
