Physical Services - Physical Training
Our holistic pain management programs are tailored to suit individuals. The programs aim to enhance and maintain optimal health and return injured workers to full functional capacity, with close involvement of our physicians, exercise physiologists and psychologists. The multidisciplinary approach allows the patient to manage and control their levels of pain more effectively through flare-up plans, goal setting, pacing, stress management and individualised physical conditioning. Communication between doctor, exercise physiologist, rehab provider, case manager and insurer is encouraged and facilitated by the reporting process, which involves an initial assessment, mid program progress and end of program report.
