Physiotherapy Early Intervention and Prevention Programs

Injury Management and Wellbeing for Corporate and Industry Workers

We can work with your business to help you care for your employees and reduce worker’s compensation claims.

We offer Physiotherapy Early Intervention & Prevention Programs for businesses designed to manage injuries early on and reduce the risk of injury or injury re-aggravation in your employees. We can work directly with your business and your employees in a 1:1 or group setting.

Data shows that 1 - 4 Physiotherapy interventions in the early phases of pain, injury or even stressful life events may be enough to reduce the risk of a niggle becoming a worker’s compensation claim down the track and improves employee perceptions of level of care.

We are able to service businesses in and around the Perth Metro, Osborne Park and Joondalup areas.


Physiotherapy early intervention and prevention pathways

What We Offer

Physiotherapy Early Intervention & Prevention Programs

Based in clinic at any of our locations in Osborne Park, West Perth or Joondalup.


High Risk: Individual Sessions

Best for individuals who are at a higher risk of injury or re-aggravation or previous injuries.

  • Pain & injury management that focuses on catching injuries early to reduce likelihood of workplace related injuries that have the potential to go down a worker’s compensation pathway.

  • Physiotherapy may consist of hands on manual therapy (e.g. massage), education on how to manage the injury, and exercise rehabilitation.

  • Our Physiotherapy services focus on empowerment of the individual and improved self management efficacy.

  • We can advise you on referrals to appropriate health care providers based on the employees condition.

  • We will advise you on whether we think that aWorker’s Compensation claim may be likely or the best option for the employee and your business in the long run.


Medium Risk: Small Group Sessions 2-6 people

Small groups are best for medium risk individuals who still need the guidance of a Physio to improve capacity and reduce injury risks.

  • Exercise sessions aimed at improving functional capacity of lifting, twisting, bending and overall stamina.

  • These sessions also improve mood and overall health indicators such as heart conditions.

  • Sessions will also focus on education regarding recovery strategies, pain management and empowerment of the individuals to improve their own health.

  • Sessions can be tailored according to the needs of the group and industry e.g.

    • Yoga, stretching and breathwork style class for more focus on stress management and wellbeing

    • Strength and conditioning for capacity building for tradies


Low Risk: Small Group Sessions 2-6 people with our Personal Trainer partners

A lower cost option for employees who need to improve their health and fitness, but do not need direct Physiotherapy supervision.

  • As we are a gym based clinic we work closely with a select group of Personal Trainers (PTs) and Exercise Physiologists (EPs).

  • If an employee does not require full Physiotherapy intervention or treatment we can progress them to health improvement and fitness sessions with personal trainers who we know and trust.

  • We will still advise and oversee these employees and manage any issues as they come up.

  • In some cases some employees might circulate between our high-medium-low risk pathways depending on their needs at the time.

  • Similar to our medium risk group sessions, these PT run sessions aimed at improving functional capacity of lifting, twisting, bending and overall stamina.

  • These sessions also improve mood and overall health indicators such as heart conditions.

Reporting and Communication

We understand the necessity of accurate reporting and helpful data for you to be able to assess whether the programs are working.

  • Open and clear communication between your business, employees and our partners is prioritised

  • All individual early interventions will include a summarised treatment and discharge plan which is also provided to the employee
