Musculoskeletal disorders

include over 200 conditions
causing pain and functional
impairment to people living with
them. They include widely known
conditions such as arthritis and
back pain, injuries caused by
trauma, such as fractures, and
other conditions that are the
result of genetic or developmental
abnormalities. MSDs affect:
Muscles Ligaments Nerves
Joints Tendons Vessels
Introduction
Working On-Site, we help compa-
nies analyze, correct and prevent
the most costly components that
cause health related productivity
loss - empowering their employ-
ees with greater productivity, job
satisfaction, lower absenteeism
and presenteeism.
Our unique services target the
physical conditions as well as the
mental, and very importantly the
culture of the population, by
inspiring a Wellness Lifestyle
and personal accountability.
We install and manage On-Site Clinics to detect, correct and
prevent the most costly Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).

3. Absenteeism
According to research by Mercer,
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
were identified as the cause of
78% of absences.
Presenteeism
Studies show that rarely are
your employees working at 100%
productivity rates. This is due to
symptoms, medical conditions, or
even side effects from treatments
and/or medication, inevitably
resulting in significant indirect
medical costs:
Cost Avoidance
Following our philosophy that
“Wellness is a Lifestyle”, our
one-of-a-kind pioneer method
delivers unprecedented medical
Cost Avoidance.
We help companies analyze,
correct and prevent all compo-
nents that cause health related
productivity loss - empowering
their employees with greater
productivity, job satisfaction,
lower absenteeism and
presenteeism.
It is a proven phenomenon that
20% of employees are responsible
for 80% of the direct and indirect
medical costs and lost productiv-
ity. Our objective is to detect and
convert the high cost members to
a low cost, and more importantly
prevent the low cost members
from transitioning into
higher costs.
How
The nervous system runs
throughout our body composed
of nerves that are transmitting
electrical and chemical impulses
that promote the functioning of
our body.
Without interruptions or external
interferences the body has the
ability to function in a nearly
perfect state, which translates
into health and wellbeing. If any
interference occurs, the nervous
system cannot send the proper
signal or information.
Thus, any interference in the
nervous system caused by poor
posture when sitting, standing or
lifting objects may adversely affect
how it relates to the organs and
the various body functions result-
ing in most medical conditions
and symptoms responsible for
absenteeism and presenteeism.

“Unlike absenteeism, presenteeism
isn't always apparent. You know
when someone doesn't show up
for work, but you often can't tell
when - or how much - illness or
a medical condition hinders
someone's performance”
