Recovering from a workplace injury
Workplace injuries can affect the neck, back, shoulders and beyond, and recovery often involves more than just treating the injury itself. It also means working towards a safe, sustainable return to work.
As an Osteopath, I provide hands-on treatment and structured rehabilitation for people managing an injury under a WorkCover claim, with the goal of supporting both symptom relief and a practical return-to-work plan.
How I can help
- Osteopathic assessment and treatment for your workplace injury
- Rehabilitation and exercise programs tailored to your role and duties
- Graded return-to-work planning
- Clear communication with your treating doctor and case manager where needed
- Ongoing review as your recovery and work capacity change
Every WorkCover claim is different, and funding arrangements can vary. If you're not sure whether your claim covers osteopathic treatment, it's worth checking with your case manager before your first appointment, or getting in touch and I can help point you in the right direction.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see an osteopath for a workplace injury?
Osteopathic treatment and rehabilitation can form part of your recovery from a workplace injury. It is worth confirming coverage with your WorkCover case manager before your first appointment.
Will you communicate with my treating doctor or case manager?
Where needed, and with your consent, I can communicate with your treating doctor and case manager to support your return-to-work plan.
How long will recovery take?
This depends on the injury, your role and your goals. A graded return-to-work plan is reviewed regularly as your capacity changes.
