Work injuries

Peter has a strong background in managing workplace injuries within the workers compensation system. Treatment is based around identifying the injury and its cause, building confidence for recovery, manual therapy and exercises to loosen tight structures and exercises to strengthen weak muscles. Peter teaches safe work postures/methods to aid recovery and prevention of re-injury.

Workplace visits can be arranged to assist with suitable duties planning, and/or provide manual handling training, office set up and ergonomic assessment to help avoid recurrence.
