About Work Injuries
If you’ve been hurt at work, or a job is slowly wearing you down, you’re in the right place. We provide work injury treatment in Farnham for people in every kind of job, from desk-based roles to trades, care work, driving and warehouse shifts.
Some work injuries happen in a moment: a lift that goes wrong, a slip or a fall, or a knock from equipment. Others build up over months or years from the same movement, the same posture or long hours at a screen. Both can affect your sleep, your mood and your ability to earn, so it’s worth getting the right help early.
Our aim is simple: find out what’s causing your pain, ease it, and help you get back to work safely, with a plan you understand.

Common Work Injuries We See
- Lower back pain and stiffness after lifting, bending or long periods of sitting
- Neck and shoulder pain from desk work, screens and driving
- Repetitive strain in the wrist, hand, forearm or elbow
- Knee and ankle injuries from slips, trips, ladders and uneven ground
- Muscle strains and sprains from manual handling
- Aches that keep coming back because of the way a job is set up
Our Approach
At your Initial Consultation, your therapist asks detailed questions about your injury and the work you do: how you move, how long you sit or stand, and what you lift. We then assess how you move and explain what we find in plain language.
Your treatment may combine hands-on therapy, massage, exercise rehabilitation and, where suitable, Western acupuncture (dry needling). We also give you practical advice for managing your injury at work, including workstation and posture tips, safer lifting and pacing.
Treatment can help you to:
- Reduce your pain
- Restore strength and flexibility
- Improve how you move and function day to day
- Plan a safe, step-by-step return to work
- Set up your work so the problem is less likely to return
Every client’s recovery is different, so we never promise a fixed timescale. We review your progress at each stage and adjust your plan as you improve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me get back to work after an injury?
Yes. Planning a safe return to work is a core part of our work injury treatment. We look at the physical demands of your job and build your rehab around them, so you know what to expect at each step.
Do you treat repetitive strain injuries?
Yes. We regularly treat repetitive strain in the wrist, hand, elbow, shoulder and neck. As well as treating the painful area, we look at the movements and set-up at work that may be causing the problem.
How long will I need physiotherapy?
It depends on your injury and the work you do. Your physiotherapist will set you a bespoke Lake Therapy care plan when you start with us, so you know what the process will look like.
Do you have specialist therapists?
Yes. Lake Therapy has a team of around 17, including 9 Physiotherapists and Graduate Sports Therapists, with a wide range of specialisms. Call us on 01252 449458 and our front desk team will help you find the practitioner who’s the best match for your needs.
How do I know if my health insurance covers physiotherapy?
