On-site physiotherapy is a strategic approach to managing and preventing workplace injury. An experienced physiotherapist attends the workplace on a regular basis to assess and treat employees, as well as conduct other services aimed at injury prevention. Physiotherapists are available to attend the workplace from as little as 4 hours per week.

Early intervention is the key to preventing the progression of injuries
When sprains and strains are treated early by an on-site Physiotherapist there is a reduced chance of the injury progressing to a costly, and potentially long-term, WorkCover claim
Our focus
On-site physiotherapy is our core service targeted at reducing the cost of work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Many long-term injuries develop due to an absence of early intervention. This is why Integrated Health promotes and manages rapid reporting of aches and pains to minimise the number of cases that develop into more serious injuries.
On-site physiotherapy facilitates early intervention, lessens the need for excessive off-site treatment, reduces time off work, and decreases the overall cost of insurance claims. On-site physiotherapy provides appropriate care in a timely manner to reduce the risk of simple sprains and strains developing into long-term injuries.
Our on-site physiotherapy program focuses on:
- Early reporting of aches and pains and prompt referral for on-site assessment and treatment
- Thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis and effective intervention
- Early identification of factors that may indicate the worker is at risk of a delayed return to full duties
- Provision of regular updates to the employee regarding worker progress and prognosis
- Prompt referral for imaging or medical intervention where necessary
- Prescription of suitable duties where appropriate to facilitate faster recovery
- Analysis of injuries, claims, and incidents
- Provision of easy to understand injury statistics reports that highlight the types of injuries occurring, and where they are occurring.
