Comfortable, safe physical conditioning programs that build confidence and capacity to enable a successful return to work.
Returning an injured worker to their role is much like getting an athlete ready to go back to the field after time away from their sport – for both people, appropriate physical rehabilitation is key to a successful return to their previous form and physical fitness.
Our Approach to Physical Conditioning for Workplace Rehabilitation
Pre-Program Assessment:
The exact requirements of each program will be designed to suit the individual needs of each participant.
Before prescribing any exercise or work-hardening activities, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist or Physiotherapist will conduct a thorough physical assessment to understand the worker’s current abilities and the physical requirements of the person’s job.
They will then determine the work-hardening and/or physical conditioning activities that the worker needs to accelerate their recovery.
Work Hardening Sessions:
These programs are designed to simulate or duplicate the work tasks and functions of the job in a healthy, safe, and risk-free environment.
Structured and progressive work hardening sessions increase the physical and positional tolerances of workers for their given duties.
Exercise Prescriptions for Physical Conditioning:
Prescribed exercises support improved muscle coordination and endurance, and improve work feasibility.
KINNECT clinicians will run through a range of different exercises aimed at restoring the worker’s functional strength, endurance, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness where these elements are relevant to work demands.
A program that combines both approaches is proven to limit the risk of re-injury and reduce timeframes for a full recovery and return to work.
