For Employers

Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, treat, and manage care of a broad range of conditions from musculoskeletal, and neurological conditions to chronic disease aiming to restore, maintain, and improve mobility, function, and well-being. Physios also help to reduce pain and swelling, accelerate healing, and provide education and injury prevention.

Exercise Physiologists are health professionals who prescribe tailored clinical exercise interventions aiming to enhance strength and endurance, manage or prevent acute to chronic disease or injury, and restore optimal function. Tailored programs include education, correction of movement patterns, advice, and support for lifestyle modification.

Contains a series of tests to determine an individual’s physical capacity to meet the functional demands associated with their preinjury or new vocational role. We provide a range of functional assessments including Pre-Employment Functional Assessments and Fitness for Duty Functional Assessments for both work-related and non-work-related conditions.

EIP aims to work closely with businesses to provide early and effective access to treatment for mild musculoskeletal injuries, or minor common aches and pains. Our Physiotherapists can assist with diagnosis, treatment, and guidance on the worker’s capacity for work. Treatment begins immediately, reducing the risk of further injury or aggravations, reducing recovery time and unnecessary absence from work or Workers Comp claims.

Prevention is better than cure. We can help prevent health problems as we understand the root causes. Our Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists can offer advice, guidance and tailored preventative programs to your needs such as specific conditioning programs, weight/diabetes management, exercise program design, manual handling, and pre-shift warm-up education including the option of group classes. Talk to us about what you can do to prevent health problems you may be predisposed to and reduce the risk of recurring injuries/conditions.

This is a specific functional program delivered by our Accredited Exercise Physiologists designed to increase tolerance to activity and the physical demands of a worker’s pre-injury role. The program is goal-oriented aiming to bridge the gap between any physical restrictions to allow a safe and durable return to pre-injury duties, with a focus on strength, endurance and overall function. This program is confidence-building and structured towards job-specific activities and goals.

A Fitness for Duty Assessment may be considered to ensure an employee is physically fit and capable of performing the tasks associated with their role and can be essential in risk management. Businesses may refer for a clinical assessment of their worker’s physical capacity when:

– There are frequent or prolonged absence(s) from work.

– A worker is certified unfit to perform their role or parts of their role.

– An employee intends to return to work following absence for a non-work-related injury/medical condition.

– To determine a worker’s functional capacity to safely perform the inherent requirements of their role following an injury or medical condition.

We recommend discussing your requirements when scheduling the assessment and providing us with the physical requirements of the role.

Every individual is different and may have differing rehabilitation or business needs. We can tailor programs in consultation with businesses, insurers, and medical practitioners. Reach out to speak to us to see how we can help.
