Physiotherapy to support work ability in Rovaniemi
Physiotherapy is an effective way to promote and maintain work capacity and can also help with quality of life, in addition to treating ailments.
Maintaining work capacity through physiotherapy
Long working hours, sedentary work, heavy physical workloads or, on the other hand, immobility can affect the health and well-being of working-age people. Physiotherapy is an excellent way of meeting these challenges, helping to maintain physical fitness and prevent potential musculoskeletal problems. Physiotherapy can also help improve work ergonomics and stress management.

How does physiotherapy support work capacity?
Work capacity is based on the physical ability of the body to function, which can be impaired by problems such as musculoskeletal problems, strain injuries, accidents or prolonged static loading. Physiotherapy helps to identify early symptoms of strain and pain and to address them before they become severe.
The physiotherapist assesses the workload factors and functional capacity challenges on an individual basis and develops a targeted exercise programme, which may include improving mobility, muscle strength, ergonomics and body control. Physiotherapy also teaches ways to manage your own body load and gives practical advice on how to improve working postures, work habits and breaks.
-
When should I seek physiotherapy?
You should seek physiotherapy if you suffer from long-term or recurring pain, such as neck, back or shoulder pain. Physiotherapy can also be a good solution if you experience reduced mobility, tension or fatigue at work. If injuries prevent you from moving or working normally, physiotherapy can help with rehabilitation.

How is physiotherapy different from gym training?
Physiotherapy is medical rehabilitation aimed at restoring, maintaining and improving functional ability. Physiotherapy is always based on an individual assessment, in which the physiotherapist assesses the client’s health, functional limitations and any injuries or illnesses, and plans treatment accordingly.
The physiotherapist also helps to identify body weaknesses and potential risks, such as incorrect posture or poor work ergonomics, which can help to prevent injuries through the exercises provided by physiotherapy.
-
How often should I go to physiotherapy?
The frequency of physiotherapy sessions depends on the person’s needs and the severity of their conditions. Initially, it may be necessary to see a physiotherapist more often in a short period of time and then less frequently. The physiotherapist will assess the situation and draw up an appropriate treatment plan.
What symptoms Physiotherapy can help with
This is how physiotherapy progresses during your appointment
1
Initial mapping and discussion
The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.
2
Examining the symptoms
After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.
3
Treatment and rehabilitation plan
Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.

Follow-up and further guidance
Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary. You will also receive clear follow-up instructions for self-training and support for everyday activities. The aim is to achieve lasting results and strengthen your independent well-being.
