Services offered by Corio Bay Sports Medicine Centre

Functional Restoration/Work Conditioning

Functional Restoration is the only treatment of proven effectiveness for chronic musculoskeletal injury. Function Restoration is based on the sports medicine approach, involving progressive functional exercise to increase strength and support injured structures. This approach is ideal for those with chronic injury that are not improving with standard methods of treatment.

Our Functional Restoration program at Corio Bay Sports Medicine Centre also incorporates specific muscle retraining such as exercise for the core stability muscles of the lower back. A Functional Restoration approach results is a rapid return to pre-injury recreational and work activity.

Functional Restoration also involves learning strategies to help you manage your condition. This enables you to manage your day to day activity to minimise flare ups, whilst maximising recovery.

Chronic injury can result in stress and anxiety about the injury and its impact on the future. Our Functional Restoration program uses cognitive behavioural strategies to assist you in understanding your injury, and reducing stress and anxiety.

Worksite Assessment and Return to Work

Corio Bay Sports Medicine Centre practitioners have suitable qualifications and experience to conduct worksite assessment and develop return to work programs. In particular our Spinal Management Clinics and Workfit physiotherapists have specific training in providing these services.
 
A worksite assessment can be an invaluable took in work related injury as a means of:
  • Identifying hazards and suggesting risk control measures to prevent injury
  • Identifying suitable duties for an individual with a work related injury and limited capacity
  • Developing a plan for a graduated and durable return to work

As treatment providers our knowledge of the clinical situation assists in determining work capacity and therefore appropriate suitable duties.

All worksite assessment and return to work planning is billed under the relevant treatment provider code.
