Workcover physiotherapy is a service that provides work rehabilitation to work-related injury sufferers. It’s an integral part of the work recovery process and enables people to return to work in a timely manner. This article will provide you with 3 tips for successful WorkCover physiotherapy.

The first tip is to work closely with your WorkCover physiotherapist. You should provide them with as much information about the work you have done, any injuries that occurred at work, and how long it has been since you last worked.

The second tip is to communicate your concerns effectively with your WorkCover physiotherapist. If they make a treatment decision that doesn’t sit right for you, let them know why this is an issue or what would be more beneficial to you in regards to work rehabilitation efforts. It’s important they understand exactly what affects your ability to return work so that they can best prepare for future tasks/work trials ahead of time (i.e if there are certain tools needed etc.).

The third tip is not to limit yourself based on traditional work roles.

Getting back to work doesn’t mean you have to go straight into your previous role, or that it even is possible for some people with injuries (i.e if they work in a physically demanding job). Look at other work opportunities around the area and create goals based on what your interests are rather than sticking purely to one particular field of work. This will help broaden your experiences while still working towards returning to work!

What else should I know?

Ask for workcover assistance early on, familiarize yourself with your rights and responsibilities as an injured worker to help you get back into work more quickly.

Try not to limit yourself based solely around traditional work roles – there are so many opportunities available! Look at what interests you rather than sticking purely to one particular field of work in order to broaden your experiences while still working towards returning to work.

Ask questions if anything is unclear or confusing from the beginning so that everyone involved can have a clear understanding moving forward. This will be beneficial when it comes time for assessments etc., which may prevent delays/mistakes being made due to lack of communication between parties involved!

Just remember that no two workcover cases are ever the same. While workcover physiotherapy may work well for some, it might not work out as you had planned so be prepared to change course of action if need be and always keep an open mind!
