DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is often combined with conventional treatments to help relieve localised & referred muscular pain. This practice is becoming very popular as it can have immediate results when applied correctly. The treatment involves the insertion of a sterile, single use acupuncture needle into a tight band of muscle or trigger point to elicit a 'twitch response', resulting in the relaxation of the muscle. It is a very safe practice when performed by qualified practitioners and will generally only cause slight discomfort.

JOB TASK DICTIONARY

The Phix team are able to complete Job Task Dictionaries that outline the physical and cognitive requirements of specific job tasks within a workplace. It typically includes descriptions of the essential duties, the frequency and duration of tasks, and the physical demands (like lifting, bending, standing, or repetitive motion) associated with each task.

Key components of a Job Task Dictionary may include:

Task descriptions and job titles
Physical demands (e.g., weight lifted, posture requirements)
Environmental factors (e.g., noise, temperature, exposure to hazards)
Frequency and duration of tasks (e.g., occasional, frequent, constant)
Required skills or cognitive demands

Why it’s important:

Assists in injury prevention and return-to-work planning
Supports ergonomic assessments and workplace accommodations
Aids HR and health professionals in hiring, training, and job placement
Serves as a legal and documentation tool for compliance and insurance claims

In short, a Job Task Dictionary is a valuable resource for ensuring that job roles are well understood and that workplace health and safety practices are effectively supported.

ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT

An ergonomic assessment is an evaluation of a workplace or workstation to ensure that it is designed to fit the worker’s needs and capabilities. It focuses on how tasks, equipment, and work environments can be adjusted to reduce strain, improve posture, and prevent injuries such as repetitive strain injuries or back pain.

Why it’s helpful for workers:

Promotes comfort and reduces physical stress
Helps prevent work-related injuries and long-term health issues
Increases productivity and efficiency
Enhances overall job satisfaction and well-being

By identifying and addressing ergonomic risks, workers can perform their jobs more safely and effectively.
