Improving workplace health is more important than ever to ensure companies can continue to meet objectives while also ensuring exceptional care for their workers on the job. Health Stack, a medtech firm, is changing the way we believe a physiotherapy clinic and service should work by empowering a brand-new version of physiotherapy.
Designed using modern, data-driven physiotherapy, Health Stack’s platform delivers high-quality care with minimal disruption, ensuring teams get the support they need right at the job site. This revolutionary model empowers employers and employees through flexible online and hybrid models that go far beyond outdated onsite care. Instead, they deliver real solutions that create results.
Health Stack was launched in 2020 at a critical time for businesses currently managing a dispersed workforce at scale for the first time. Since then, it has become a leader in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Solutions as a part of employee wellness programs. With the Health Stack platform, you gain access to resources that change employee lives. As a fee-for-outcome business, the company delivers solutions that directly impact your business needs, support staff-specific care goals, and reduce the time-consuming, costly, and ineffective traditional approaches.
Why Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation?
When employees have a recovery plan, they are three times more likely to return to work. Your employees spend more time than ever at work, whether remotely or in the office. By providing real-time physiotherapy and rehabilitation for injuries, employees receive the care they need.
What Is the Health Stack Difference From Other Services?
The purpose of visiting a physiotherapist or clinic is for patients to receive care to regain the movement, function, and range of their muscles and joints. After an injury, this type of physical movement can be painful or limited due to a lack of use, damage to muscle groups and tendons, and scar tissue development. A physiotherapist provides manual and supportive services to ensure proper function and movement in those areas, aiming for holistic health improvement as they do.
Traditional physiotherapy methods often focus on reactive rather than proactive care. The focus is on restoring health after an incident, rather than taking a holistic, 360-degree view of an individual’s wellbeing from a mental and physical standpoint. Snoring is one example where the physical output represents multiple data points about what may be causing this issue. Snoring is a symptom of poor sleep; pain is a symptom of poor health management.
What is interesting is looking at how many physiotherapists in Australia provide work-specific care? As Australia reaches 100 million services provided through telehealth, how many physiotherapists support patients in the work environment?
This is where Health Stack stands out. Instead of waiting at home and being unable to work until receiving care in a physiotherapy clinic, patients receive care sooner through the use of Health Stack. It is a significant switch from not just treating an injury but instead preventing one, managing it more holistically, and supporting a company’s wellness objectives.
Why Do New Science and Protocols Matter?
Health Stack founder and Managing Director James Fletcher created the organisation with a very different focus than traditional in-clinic care after an injury. In fact, they do far more than just focus on injuries. Instead, the focus is on mental and physical well-being as they relate to empowering employers to reduce workplace ill-health and injury. The platform creates an opportunity to not just treat a problem but to prevent it in the first place.
Why does this matter? As noted by Fletcher, early intervention strategies via onsite physiotherapy, health journey mapping, mental health, training, and monthly health campaigns achieve two incredible differences: they improve an employee’s quality of life and reduce pain.
The correlation between stress levels and injury rates is phenomenal. Stressed workers take shortcuts, make mistakes, and have a higher injury rate than those not under high levels of environmental stress.
For organisations to truly provide their employees with a wellness program, they must consider the objectives of prevention.
Consider, then, how Health Stack stands out:
- It provides real-time communication to keep employers in control.
- Injured staff members immediately connect with a physiotherapist or doctor.
- Utilising a telehealth model, care does not disrupt the business.
- Evidence-based return-to-work plans help get people back to work sooner.
- Prevention and mental wellness programs are available 24/7 to meet all needs.
Health Stack’s Mission Is to Create Holistic Outcomes
Health Stack’s mission and unique approach facilitate employers’ providing employees with tools that minimise stress, improve support when injuries occur, and ensure employees receive the ongoing support they need to live happy, healthy lives.
