Specialists in injury treatment and management

BodyCare is the largest provider of on-site physiotherapy services throughout Australia. We offer tailored solutions to employers to effectively reduce the cost of injuries in the workplace.

On-site physiotherapy is a concept being increasingly embraced within occupational health and safety circles, particularly by companies who employ a large manual workforce.

Musculoskeletal injuries, lower back and shoulder injuries in particular, are at epidemic proportions throughout Australia's manual workforce and have become a costly financial burden for the employer. On-site physiotherapy is proven to significantly decrease these costs by providing:

Early intervention - Early detection of injuries and immediate intervention.

Treatment and advice in the first 24 hours - essential in minimising the duration and severity of a strain or sprain type injury.

This results in reduced lost time injuries.

Reduction in Workcover claims

Injuries which are treated on-site and managed immediately on-site have shown to reduce the frequency of Workcover claims, ultimately leading to significant cost savings to the employer.

Ongoing management

The ongoing treatment of injuries on-site equates to a decrease in the number of consultations off-site, thereby reducing the time off work for travel and treatment, and making the sometimes arduous cycle of return to work, more efficient.

Monitoring process

Monitoring the progress of injured employees allows for judgments to be made as to the appropriateness of the level of service being provided. Employees can be directed to more appropriate means of treatment if required such as sports medicine, surgical consultations, rehabilitation or counselling.
