Reconditioning
This work-oriented program assists in early, safe return to work through goal-directed reconditioning. For clients whose symptoms are stable, but need to improve their strength, endurance or mood. Individual programs are developed and progressed by a physiotherapist with an emphasis on returning function. Functional ability (including basic lifting and carrying) is tested on assessment and discharge.

This fully supervised program is supported by a multi-disciplinary team to provide an environment where returning workers rebuild not only the physical ability, strength and endurance to return to work, but gain self-confidence and skills to manage pain, symptoms and fear of re-injury.
