Businesses experience pain. This is a common problem. But common does not mean unavoidable.
Employees who are in physical pain don’t have to be or stay in physical pain. The impact pain has on performance doesn’t need to affect your business. And the rising costs of healthcare CAN be sidestepped.
How? Solveglobal. We solve the problem of pain.
Solveglobal helps YOU protect your people, performance, and profit from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
What are MSDs?
MSDs are the most common, costly, and misunderstood issue in today’s workforce. They affect how people move, work, and live—showing up as aches, pains, numbness, or limitations in muscles, joints, tendons, nerves, ligaments, and fascia.
At any given time, over 50% of people are experiencing MSDs. And this number doesn’t want to go down. Once one MSD resolves, another comes in to take its place. It’s a vicious cycle that can and will continue if you don’t take action today.
Solving the Problem of Pain for People
Your employees are your greatest asset. And, when they are in pain, they are at risk.
Imagine this scenario:
Michelle is an HR coordinator. She spends about 80% of her workday sitting at a desk. Over time, she develops pain that radiates between her neck and right shoulder. At first, it’s not something she frets about. Maybe she just needs a massage.
After a few weeks, the pain hadn’t gone away, and Michelle noticed it more and more throughout the day. In between calls, she stretches her neck. She can’t make it through one email without a small break to attempt to get some relief.
But going to the doctor takes time and money. She knows she will have to wait a few more weeks for an appointment, and then she will have to wait a few more weeks after that to get in with a specialist if she needs one. And then there’s the cost. She has a copay at her primary care doctor, but she has to pay down her deductible at a specialist. She decides to just deal with the pain on her own. But it doesn’t get any better, and soon, she is distracted at work, and, at times, distressed over continuing to work. Michelle ends up taking a few days off work just to try to relax and find relief.
She decides to just deal with the pain on her own. But it doesn’t get any better, and soon, she is distracted at work, and, at times, distressed over continuing to work.
What started as a little neck pain quickly impacted how Michelle could thrive at work, at home, and while doing the things she loved.
How Solveglobal Solves People’s Pain
Scenarios like Michelle’s are all too common- but that doesn’t mean that they’re preventable.
Instead of putting off care because it isn’t accessible, Solveglobal bridges that gap to provide the right care with the right provider at the right time (and at the right cost). Our team of physical therapists provide comprehensive care- ranging from early intervention to treatment of chronic conditions- to help employees like Michelle at every step of the way.
Solveglobal member therapists could have identified Michelle’s early neck pain as a risk of developing into a major chronic condition, looked at what was causing her pain, and treated it at the root cause. Our goal is to help employees move, feel, and perform their best at work, at home, and while doing the things they love.
Solveglobal engages employees to reduce their risk of developing new pain.
