A 42 year old production line worker, having been off work in the past for 9 months at a cost of £28,728 to his employer, was assessed by the on-site physiotherapist and a structured rehabilitation programme was introduced, resulting in a saving of £19,152.

Four weeks following an accident at work, an employee was deemed fit to begin a phased return to normal duties.  After a further two weeks of ongoing intervention, the individual was fit to return to normal duties.

A young male with a four year history of knee problems along with a poor sickness absence rate was referred for physiotherapy.  Two months on he has had no further episodes of sickness absence and is still participating in sport.

A production company, who had a couple of RIDDOR reportable cases in 2006, commission Connect to provide an on-site physiotherapy service.

An individual sustained a work reported works accident whilst working in a production area. This individual was referred urgently for on-site physiotherapy assessment and treatment.  If the patient had not received physiotherapy, both Health & Safety and the on-site physiotherapist felt that sickness absence would have been extended by at least 4 weeks.
