Workplace and Office Injury Physiotherapy in Marple
Workplace and office injury physiotherapy tackles the postural strain, repetitive strain and manual-handling injuries caused by modern work — easing your pain and giving you the practical changes needed to stop it returning, at our Marple clinic.

Introduction
Long days at a desk, hours on a laptop at the kitchen table, lifting, driving or repetitive work can all lead to aching necks, sore backs and painful wrists. Most people don't need time off work to get better. We'll treat the pain, look at how you work and give you practical changes that make a real difference. That covers office workers, tradespeople and everyone in between. We see people from Marple, Stockport, Romiley, Hazel Grove, High Lane and Disley.

Common Problems
- Neck, shoulder or upper back pain from desk work
- Lower back ache that worsens through the working day
- Wrist, forearm or hand pain from repetitive tasks
- Tension headaches building up during or after work
- Stiffness and aching from prolonged driving
- Pain from a specific lifting or handling incident at work
- Discomfort that eases at weekends and returns at work
- Numbness or tingling from sustained postures
Common Causes
- Poor desk setup and prolonged sitting posture
- Repetitive typing, clicking or manual tasks
- Heavy or awkward lifting, pushing and pulling
- Prolonged driving with poor lumbar support
- Working on laptops, tablets and phones ('tech neck')
- Inadequate breaks and sustained static postures
- Stress and tension held in the muscles

How We Help
Your first appointment is 45 minutes. Treatment combines hands-on work, a short strength and mobility programme you can do at or near your desk, and practical workstation and lifting advice. Most people improve within four to eight weeks.
Settle & Understand
Hands-on treatment eases your pain while we assess your work setup and identify the habits and postures driving it.
Treat & Advise
Manual therapy and targeted advice address both your symptoms and your work environment — desk setup, posture, breaks and technique.
Strengthen & Support
We build strength in the postural and core muscles that support your body through the working day, reducing strain.
Sustain & Prevent
Simple habits, exercises and tweaks to your routine keep you comfortable long-term and prevent the problem returning.
Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
No GP referral needed. Direct access appointments available — often same-day or within a few days.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
Your first session is a 45-minute comprehensive assessment. We start by listening — understanding your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to. We then carry out a thorough hands-on physical examination to identify the root cause of your problem. You'll receive a clear explanation of what's going on, a personalised treatment plan, and hands-on treatment begins in that very first session. You leave knowing exactly what's wrong, what we'll do about it, and how long recovery will take.
What Should I Wear?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area we're treating. For knee, hip, or leg problems, shorts are ideal. For shoulder, neck, or back issues, a loose top or vest works well. You'll never be asked to undress beyond what's necessary for examination and treatment, and you'll always be treated with dignity and respect in our private treatment room.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
This depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your goals. Many patients feel significant improvement within 3–6 sessions. Acute injuries often resolve faster, while long-standing or complex conditions may need more. We'll give you a clear treatment timeline at your first appointment — and we only ever recommend sessions you genuinely need. Our goal is to get you independent and pain-free as quickly as possible, not to keep you coming back.
Can I Claim Through Insurance?
Yes. We are recognised by most major health insurance providers including AXA, Vitality, Bupa, WPA, and Healix. We can bill your insurer directly so you don't need to pay upfront — simply bring your insurance authorisation number to your appointment. If you're not sure whether you're covered, call us and we'll help you check before you book.
