Back pain is the biggest work related cause of sickness absence. Poor manual handling, poor posture, poor fitness levels can all cause problems, whilst a degree of aerobic and muscular fitness is protective against back injuries. As lives become more sedentary, so back pain problems multiply.

Caritas can help identify the relationship between workplace factors and back pain, and advise the employer on measures to get the individual back to work quickly and to keep them working regularly, effectively and efficiently.
