Helping your people recover faster
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are one of the leading causes of workplace absence in the UK. Early access to physiotherapy can significantly reduce recovery times, support a faster return to work, and prevent short-term issues from becoming long-term problems.
COPE’s physiotherapy service is delivered by our in-house team, overseen by our dedicated Physio & Ergonomics Lead — a qualified physiotherapist with extensive occupational health experience. Every assessment includes a detailed report with clear recommendations that support both recovery and ongoing case management.
- Clinic-based physiotherapy — convenient access at a COPE-approved clinic near your employee, anywhere in the UK
- Onsite physiotherapy — our physiotherapists visit your site, gaining first-hand understanding of the working environment
Address risks before they become problems

A truly in-house, integrated service
Unlike many providers who outsource physiotherapy and ergonomics, COPE delivers these services through our own in-house team. Because they sit within our wider occupational health service, your employees benefit from joined-up care — our physiotherapists and ergonomics specialists work closely alongside our occupational health team, sharing insight and coordinating care.
