Helping you work towards a confident return

Returning to work after an injury or period of physical difficulty can feel challenging. Rehabilitation can help you gradually rebuild the physical capacity and confidence needed for your everyday responsibilities.

The focus is not simply on reducing symptoms. We can also consider movement, strength, mobility, endurance and functional tasks relevant to your goals.

  • Understand the physical demands of your work
  • Identify relevant movement and functional limitations
  • Build strength and physical capacity progressively
  • Develop practical rehabilitation goals
  • Work towards your desired level of function

Rehabilitation that considers your job

Different jobs place different demands on the body. Where relevant, rehabilitation can be shaped around the physical activities and functional requirements associated with your role.

  • Lifting, carrying and handling tasks
  • Standing or walking for extended periods
  • Desk-based posture and movement demands
  • Repetitive movements and physical tasks
  • Gradual return to normal activity levels
