GOALS OF THE PROGRAM
To increase an injured worker’s function/ physical conditioning with outcomes of the program used to achieve a timely return to work or to demonstrate a ‘capacity for work’.
- Would your injured worker be better off doing an Exercise Physiology program to increase function to attain a ‘capacity for work’ sign off in lieu of a host placement or in conjunction with one?
- Would your injured worker be better positioned to gain more functionally from Exercise Physiology program to assist them to return to pre-injury employment in a more timely manner? i.e. Those who work in medium to high physical demands positions.
- Have you considered an exercise physiology program for those with a psychological claim, to increase function and capacity for work?
What to expect from the LHS Exercise Physiologist
- Baseline report with key objectives of the program
- Regular re-testing of pre-intervention measures
- Ongoing progress reports
- Interventions focussed on improving functional capacities required to return to pre-injury employment
