We're delighted to see our Injury Prevention Programme recognised through a British Safety Council Award, following its successful implementation with Veolia.

At Back In Action UK, we created the Injury Prevention Programme to help organisations identify musculoskeletal risks before they become injuries, shifting the focus from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.

As our Managing Director, Matt Taylor, explains:

"Too often, musculoskeletal risk is invisible until it becomes a problem. What makes the Injury Prevention Programme different is its focus on prevention rather than relying on reactive interventions. We've combined clinical expertise with real-time insight to identify risk early and stop issues developing in the first place."

This award is a fantastic recognition of what's possible when innovative prevention strategies are embraced at scale. We'd like to congratulate Veolia for their commitment to protecting the health and wellbeing of their people and for partnering with us to deliver such impactful results.

Veolia has won the Innovation in Health Award for its initiative supporting municipal waste collection teams.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Every life lost to su***de is one too many. Around the world, nearly 800,000 people die by su***de each year, that’s one person every 40 seconds. Behind each number is a colleague, a friend, a loved one.

We believe prevention starts with compassion, awareness, and action. By supporting mental health alongside physical health, we can help reduce stigma and build healthier, safer workplaces.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. In the UK, you can call Samaritans on 116 123 – free, 24/7.

Start the conversation. 💚

Mental health and musculoskeletal health of employees should be a top priority for employers. And they are far more connected than one might think.

Together, these conditions are the leading causes of workplace absence. If an employee’s mental health is declining, chances are their physical health will also be suffering.

Check out our blog post on the relationship between physical and mental health, and what employers can do to support their staff. https://www.sanophysiotherapy.com/blog/physiotherapy-and-mental-health/?_gl=1*78vsjf*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjkwMjUyMjIyLjE3NTM4NjU5ODQ.*_ga_JB9BVT3CXD*czE3NTM4NjU5ODMkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTM4NjU5ODMkajYwJGwwJGgw

Mental and physical health are deeply connected.

Stress, depression, and anxiety now account for 49% of all work-related ill health—and the impact doesn’t stop there. Chronic stress can lead to muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, and even increased risk of injury.

At Back In Action, we look at the whole picture. Our approach supports both the mind and body—because you can’t treat one without considering the other.

Even though the pandemic feels like a lifetime ago, hybrid and full remote working is still heavily practiced. But just because we're working at home, doesn't mean there aren't risks.
