Occupational Foot Injury
Employees who stand for long periods on hard floors often report foot, knee and hip pains. When a worker suffers with fatigue, discomfort or pain they are prone to developing further muscle or joint injury. A worker who is tired or in pain is often less alert and more likely to have an accident.
Pain caused by complaints such as Plantar fasciosis (heel 'bruising' pain), Achilles tendinosis and Osteoarthritis can be managed with a number of Podiatry tools. Bigfoot Podiatrists will match an employee to appropriate footwear, anti-fatigue matting, gait re-education and protective insoles. General foot maintenance to remove calluses and corns is a service we offer to help improve comfort whilst at work.
