How to Get Started

If you’ve been injured at work, the first step is to see your family doctor. They can assess your condition and provide a referral for physiotherapy if needed. Once you have your referral, we’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Our physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to understand the nature of your injury and its impact on your daily life. Based on this assessment, we’ll create a treatment plan that may include hands-on therapy, corrective exercises, and advice on how to avoid further aggravation.

Supporting Your Claim

We understand that navigating the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Scheme can be complex. That’s why we provide comprehensive support to help you with your claim:

• Paperwork Completion: We fill out all the necessary paperwork to ensure your claim is processed smoothly.
• Doctor Liaison: We communicate directly with your treating doctor, providing them with detailed reports on our assessment and treatment plan. This ensures that all parties are informed and working together for your recovery.
• Ongoing Communication: As you progress through your treatment, we keep your doctor updated with follow-up reports, ensuring your recovery is on track.

Staying Active

Staying active is crucial to recovery. We’ll guide you through a supervised exercise program tailored to your injury and work requirements. Whether it’s a home exercise program or a more structured rehabilitation plan, we ensure you’re doing the right exercises at the right time to support your recovery.
