Work injuries are a common problem among some industries. Workplaces with high occupational hazards lead to a working environment where injuries are part of daily life. Gatton Physiotherapy ensures effective work injury rehabilitation to help you get back to work easily and quickly.
Australian medical policies make it mandatory for patients to be EPC eligible to get bulk billing physiotherapy.
Gatton Physiotherapy not only ensures proper rehabilitation, but also guides the patients on how to minimize work injuries. Our core idea is towards guiding people to minimize the risk, because prevention is always better than cure.
Workplace injuries can be categorized into three different categories:
- Injuries incurred due to lifting carrying and putting heavy objects down.
- Injuries incurred due to moving heavy objects without lifting or carrying them.
- Injuries occurred due to causes other than the above two.
While the first two causes are pretty clear, it’s the third one that creates a bit of confusion. Physios at Gatton Physiotherapy say this category includes injuries due to improper posture during routine movement in workplace and other reasons that may trigger muscle stress and problems in joints, tendons and ligaments.
Gatton Physiotherapy comprises of a team of well trained, qualified and experienced physios. They make sure your post rehabilitation efficiency is better than your pre injury one. This is done by educating the patients about how to minimize the risks of working in a physically demanding work environment.
To avail bulk billing physiotherapy, patients will need to be eligible for EPC. Talk to your physician about the same and keep your expense worries at bay.
