Webinar recording: Effective physical rehab
About the webinar:
After an athlete suffers and injury they follow a course of physical re-conditioning - commencing with rehabilitation activities about the site of injury, transitioning to sport-specific drills and culminating in a return to competition. This is to ensure that the athlete returns in the most timely, but also safest, of manners. Why should returning to work following workplace injury be any different?
This webinar explores the efficacy of exercise-based work conditioning programmes and seeks to identify some of the best-practice principles that an exercise provider will employ in an affort to achieve a desirable return to work outcome. Key learning ppoints covered will be:
- When should exercise-based work conditioning be initiated
- Application for different modes of exercise
- Fostering buy-in and self-management
- How can the exercise provider help with the RTW process
