Assessment Services

Acute Physiotherapy Assessment:

The assessment involves a review of the acute injury and implementation of appropriate evidence-based interventions. The assessment will:

Assist in a prompt diagnosis
Review the appropriateness of or guide medical certification
Provide recommendations regarding specialist or investigative/ imaging referral
Gain an understanding of critical job demands required for resumption of pre-injury duties
Provide information regarding injury recovery, reassurance and prompt resumption of all activities
Immediate establishment of workplace and home self management strategies
Early screening for psychosocial and environmental barriers to the RTW process

Physiotherapy treatment is generally only advocated in the first 6 weeks following which time the worker is transferred into a program stream depending on the level of associated factors. A same day initial appointment and report guarantee is provided to our key customers.

Exercise Physiology Assessment:

Where clear activity upgrading approaches are required direct progression to an Exercise Physiology initial assessment can be undertaken.

Musculo-skeletal Assessment:

Recommended for workers between 3-26 weeks post injury when strong signs of recovery are not evident, minimal upgrade of the Certificate of Capacity has occurred and modest-moderate psychosocial barriers are suspected or have been identified.

Multidisciplinary Pain Assessment:

Recommended for workers from 26 weeks onwards when significant psychosocial barriers appear to be impeding the upgrading of activity tolerances and resumption of work duties. The assessment involves a two hour assessment by a Clinical Psychologist and a Physiotherapist.
