Book Consultactive recovery
safe return to work
Rebuilding capacity for work, and for life
Strength for the job you do
We train the movements your role actually asks of you. Lifting, carrying, reaching, standing all shift or long hours at a desk, so your body is ready for the work you go back to.
A graded return to work
Your program follows your Certificate of Capacity. Load builds step by step, so each change in hours or duties feels manageable, not like a leap.
After surgery or injury
Structured reconditioning once your surgeon or physio gives the green light, bridging the gap between clinical rehab and full duties.
Back and persistent pain
Carefully paced exercise that settles a sensitive system and rebuilds trust in movement. No pushing through pain, ever.
Psychological injury
Exercise is an evidence based part of recovering from work related stress, anxiety and depression. A calm private studio and steady routine, alongside your psychologist and GP.
Life outside work
Recovery isn't only about the job. We also work on sleep, energy, family life and the things you enjoy, so you come back stronger all round.
How exercise physiology works on a NSW workers compensation claim
Once your claim is accepted, approved exercise physiology is paid directly by the insurer, so there's no cost to you. You won't be charged a gap fee or a cancellation fee. Your nominated treating doctor can recommend exercise physiology on your Certificate of Capacity, or you can ask your insurer case manager about it.
Your first session is a full assessment. We set clear, measurable goals around your capacity and return to work, then send a treatment plan to your insurer for approval. As you progress we keep your doctor and case manager updated, and we're happy to join case conferences. If you're a police officer, paramedic, firefighter or in another exempt scheme, get in touch and we'll talk you through your options.
Working together on your recovery
Return to work goes best when everyone is moving in the same direction. We keep it clear and simple for each person involved in your claim.
Injured workers
Bring your claim number, insurer details and latest Certificate of Capacity. We handle the paperwork with your insurer so you can focus on getting better.
GPs & treating doctors
Recommend exercise physiology on the Certificate of Capacity or send a referral. You'll get a clear plan, measurable progress and updates that support your capacity decisions.
Case managers & rehab providers
Timely treatment plans, objective outcome measures and regular reports, all tied to the worker's return to work goals.
