What is WorkCover Physiotherapy?
Support When You’ve Been Hurt at Work
WorkCover physiotherapy is for anyone injured at work who needs support to recover.
Healing Made Simple at Home
This includes exercises to ease pain, improve movement, and help you get back to work safely.
For example, if you have back pain, you might do gentle cat-cow stretches to reduce tension or bridge lifts to build strength in your lower back and hips.
If you have a WorkCover claim, home-based physiotherapy makes getting the care you need easier without the hassle of travel.
The focus is on giving you the right exercises and treatments to help you heal at your own pace.
Support for Different Types of Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can vary a lot. You might have a sore back, a shoulder strain, or a knee injury.
Each injury needs different support, and that’s why WorkCover physiotherapy is personalised for you.
For example, if you’re dealing with back pain, you’ll be guided through exercises like cat-cow stretches to reduce stiffness and bridge lifts to strengthen your lower back and hips.
You might also do pelvic tilts to improve mobility. These exercises help reduce pain, increase flexibility, and improve how you move.
If you’ve hurt your shoulder, you might do exercises like arm circles, wall push-ups, or shoulder blade squeezes. These movements help build strength and improve your range of motion.
You may also do pendulum swings to ease shoulder stiffness. The goal is to help you get back to lifting, reaching, and doing your daily tasks without pain.
Step-by-Step Recovery at Home
Home-based physiotherapy allows you to recover in a familiar space. A plan will be created that fits your needs. Each session focuses on small, achievable steps.
If you’re struggling with knee pain, you might start with seated leg lifts to build strength without putting too much pressure on your knee. You may also do quad sets to help activate your thigh muscles.
Over time, you’ll move on to standing exercises like mini squats or step-ups that help improve balance and stability.
Every exercise is chosen to match your current ability and your goals.
The idea is to make recovery simple and effective, with movements that are easy to do at home.
You'll be guided through each step to help you feel more confident as you regain strength and mobility.
Building Strength to Return to Work
One of the main goals of WorkCover physiotherapy is to help you get back to work.
This means working on the specific skills and movements you need for your job.
If your job involves a lot of lifting, exercises will focus on strengthening your back, arms, and legs.
You might practice squats to improve your lifting strength, do dead bugs to build core stability, or practice hip hinges to protect your back when bending.
If your job requires standing for long periods, exercises will help build leg strength and improve balance.
Simple exercises like heel raises, wall sits, or calf stretches can make a big difference in how comfortable you feel standing at work.
You might also practice toe taps to improve circulation and reduce stiffness. By focusing on the skills you need, WorkCover physiotherapy helps you feel ready and able to return to your job.
Pain Management and Movement Improvement
Dealing with pain can be one of the hardest parts of recovering from a work injury. WorkCover physiotherapy helps you manage pain through gentle movement, stretching, and strength exercises.
For example, if you have neck pain, you might do gentle neck stretches like chin tucks or side neck stretches to reduce tightness.
You could also do shoulder rolls and upper trapezius stretches to ease tension and improve movement.
Movement is key to feeling better. You'll find ways to stay active that don’t cause more pain. This might include walking, light stretching, or using resistance bands to build strength.
You might do bicep curls with resistance bands or seated rows to strengthen your upper body without straining it. The goal is to keep you moving in a way that feels good and helps you recover faster.
