HACT’s work-related injury rehabilitation services are aimed at helping you recover from injuries sustained in the workplace and return to work safely. Whether it’s a repetitive strain, back pain, or an accident-related injury, we focus on personalised treatment plans that address both the injury and its underlying causes. Our experienced therapists work on building strength, improving flexibility, and implementing ergonomic strategies to prevent re-injury. We also collaborate with patients to manage pain and safely regain function, empowering them to get back to work with confidence and improved resilience.

The most common work related injuries are due to trip, slip and falls at work place or secondary to Repetitive Stress and Overexertion Injuries.There is enough evidence that if workers stay off work for long time, they are less likely to ever return. The mental impact of the injury, the impact on your financial well-being, the expectations from the employer, and dealing with the insurance companies can make you overwhelmed.

One of the key components of work injury rehabilitation is pain management. Physiotherapists employ various techniques to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation, including manual therapy, electrotherapy, and therapeutic modalities such as ultrasound. These approaches not only help relieve discomfort but also promote healing by improving blood circulation and reducing muscle tension.

Following pain management, the focus shifts to restoring mobility and strength. A customised exercise program is designed to enhance flexibility, strengthen weakened muscles, and improve overall function. This may involve a combination of stretching exercises, resistance training, and functional movement patterns that mimic the demands of the individual’s job. The goal is to facilitate a safe return to work while minimising the risk of re-injury.

Education plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process. Physiotherapists provide patients with valuable information about body mechanics, ergonomic practices, and injury prevention strategies. This knowledge empowers individuals to make informed choices about their work environment and activities, reducing the likelihood of future injuries. For example, proper lifting techniques and workstation adjustments can significantly lower the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders.

In many cases, physiotherapy clinics collaborate with employers and insurance providers to create a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. Communication between all parties is essential for ensuring that the individual receives the necessary support throughout their recovery journey. This may include workplace modifications, gradual return-to-work programs, and ongoing follow-up to monitor progress.
