Apologies if this has been asked before but I've scouted the forums and couldn't find anything appropriate.
As a developer I spend several hours day-after-day sat at my desk coding away. In the past I've had back/neck/pelvis issues attributable to this, confirmed by my physiotherapist - pelvic misalignment, right shoulder forward due to continual and prolonged mouse usage, etc. Now my issues have returned, largely due to a 10 week period of 7 days a week coding and I'm resigned to more physiotherapy to fix me up. Now these issues I feel are 100% due to work, so my question is whether it's allowable for my company to pay the expense of putting it right? It's not really a 'benefit' is it, being returned to the state I was in before the work broke me?
