Specialist Services – Where Expert Solutions Answer Complex Problems
Advanced Training and Assessment Solutions from Clinically-Trained Experts
Building you a stronger, safer workforce.
Not all training providers are built the same—and when it comes to complex manual handling, people moving and handling, or Display Screen Equipment (DSE) challenges, generic solutions simply don’t cut it. That’s where Osteopaths for Industry (OFI) comes in.
With nearly 40 years of experience, we deliver clinically-led training, consultancy and assessments—exclusively delivered by highly qualified osteopaths and physiotherapists. Our team brings expert knowledge of body mechanics together with real-world workplace understanding to support your team – even in the most demanding work environments.
Whether your team is using new complex equipment, needs additional moving and handling support, assessing a workstation for someone with complex physical needs, or training staff in high-risk manual handling scenarios—our training is built around your specific challenges, not pulled from a box.
High-Risk Manual Handling – Delivered by Clinical Experts
When the physical demands are greater, you need more than basic manual handling support. OFI provides tailored training, consultancy, and individual risk assessments for high-risk or complex manual handling situations.
Whether your team handles heavy loads, works in tight spaces, or faces job-specific manual handling risks—we take time to understand your needs and deliver practical training that drives lasting change, not just compliance.
Our trainers explain the ‘why behind the how’ so your team understands how the body works, how injuries happen, and how to apply safer movement techniques every day.
People Moving & Handling
OFI is one of the few providers in the UK offering clinically-led training in both bariatric handling and paediatric handling.
These are areas where the safety, dignity, and emotional wellbeing of individuals is paramount. Our osteopaths, physiotherapists and people moving and handling specialists deliver training that’s both clinically sound and practically grounded, ensuring your team feels confident handling people of different sizes, conditions, and vulnerabilities.
Whether you need bespoke training, specialist consultancy, or help managing a one-off complex case, OFI offers the clinical insight and real-world experience to support your care team.
Complex DSE Assessments – For When Standard Isn’t Enough
For employees experiencing ongoing pain, recovering from injury, or working with health conditions like pregnancy, our Complex DSE Assessments offer a deeper level of support.
Carried out by an experienced physiotherapist, these one-to-one sessions go beyond a standard ergonomic review. We assess the full context—setup, condition, job demands—and provide a detailed report for both the individual and the workplace, with clear, actionable adjustments to reduce strain, prevent aggravation, and support long-term comfort and performance.
