Exercise Physiology and WorkSafe
If you’re working with WorkSafe, an Exercise Physiologist will support your recovery by creating a personalised rehabilitation program designed to help you regain strength, mobility, and overall function. We’ll assess your injury and tailor exercises specifically for your needs, monitoring your progress and adjusting your plan to keep you safe and on track. Throughout your recovery, we’ll work closely with your healthcare team and employer to help you return to work smoothly and reduce the risk of re-injury, supporting your long-term health and wellbeing.
