Onsite Workplace Physiotherapy

Why provide onsite workplace Physiotherapy at your organization?

We provide onsite workplace Physiotherapy on the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads & Brisbane. Onsite Physiotherapy can significantly decrease your costs and boost worker engagement/productivity by providing:

Early intervention

• Treatment and advice in the first 24 hours is essential in minimising the duration and severity of any musculoskeletal complaint.
• Early interventions for these complaints and associated symptoms will result in a quicker recovery, maintain workers at work and reduce the probability of it progressing to a claim.
• If communication is requested as part of this service WH&S staff will be notified within 3 hours of a worker who presents with a work related injury, or pain that is significantly aggravated by their work, in order to help comply with the duties imposed in the WHS Act.

Reduction in WorkCover claims

• Early intervention of Musculoskeletal complaints reduces the rate of these complaints progressing to compensable claims.
• This can help prevent non work related injuries progressing to work related.
• This equates to a significant cost saving to the employer.

Enhanced worker health and wellbeing 

• A healthy pain free worker is far more productive than someone in pain
• Builds rapport, trust and understanding between the TEAM, boosting morale
• Encourages workers to seek assistance with the Physiotherapist to resolve issues before they become a LTI (lost time injury)
