Primary care integration

When musculoskeletal services are part of the primary care setting, members have fewer barriers to care, experience better health outcomes, and receive more timely and coordinated care. Providers like physical therapists, ergonomists, and chiropractors, work hand-in-hand with primary care physicians to treat musculoskeletal injuries and optimize member function to prevent future injuries from happening.  

Occupational health integration

Premise is your partner for improving safety in the workplace and preventing injuries. Through a variety of services, we protect and treat your people from new hires to experienced professionals.  Working closely with your health and safety teams, we develop and maintain a culture of safety and early intervention for your workforce to keep them safe on the job.  

Making prevention part of the everyday.

By Identifying risks and developing solutions to avoid injuries, your people will benefit from the breadth and depth of our preventive solutions at our onsite and nearsite locations and virtually through our Digital Wellness Center.

Early intervention

Our early intervention program emphasizes prompt treatment of musculoskeletal issues to prevent chronic conditions and reduce the risk of OSHA recordables through job hazard recognition, first aid assessment and care, injury triage, and much more. 

Ergonomics

As the foundation of prevention, ergonomics focuses on the design and use of workstations to minimize strain, promote employee body awareness, and limit musculoskeletal disorders to create a safer and more comfortable work environment. This approach not only reduces the risk of injury but also enhances overall productivity and employee satisfaction. 

Injury prevention

Reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace through data and trends analysis, education, and training resources. Premise Health’s injury prevention specialists work directly with your people to identify and address potential hazards, fostering a culture of safety and prevention for all. Additionally, ongoing training ensures your employees remain aware of best practices and can adapt to new challenges or changes in the work environment. 

Optimize performance and improve overall health.

Premise blends insightful education with energizing physical activities and comprehensive testing to enhance member health and work performance.

New hire education and job function testing

We provide guidance to equip new hires with effective tools, techniques, and proper form. Our training includes lifestyle medicine, lift labs, and body mechanics, along with job function testing to match roles. This approach ensures employees start strong, contributing to a safer, more productive workplace. 

Work conditioning and work hardening

Our work conditioning programs prepare employees for key job functions, complemented by a structured return-to-work process that assesses readiness and ensures follow-up. This approach supports employees in meeting performance standards and achieving a smooth, productive transition back to work. 

Musculoskeletal wellness exams

These exams use movement and activity to set members on a successful path of using movement and activity to positively impact their sleep, mental health and cardiovascular health and reduce their likelihood of developing injury down the road.
