PREHAB is a forward-thinking approach designed to proactively address and strengthen potential physical vulnerabilities before they lead to injuries within your Perth based team. This initiative begins with a comprehensive assessment conducted by one of our Perth based workplace health physiotherapists to identify any areas of muscular weakness or impaired motor control. Following this assessment, a personalised program is developed, focusing on fitness and strengthening to prevent potential future workplace injuries.
PREHAB is focused on targeted strengthening and general fitness exercises, developed after a thorough physical evaluation. These exercises are personalised to meet the specific needs of your individual workers, considering their current fitness level, age, and prior exercise routines, ensuring a tailored approach to health and well-being.
A stronger, healthier workforce leads to enhanced productivity and efficiency. Employees in better physical condition can perform their tasks more effectively, positively contributing to the business's output.
Perth's diverse workforce includes individuals of varying ages. PREHAB offers customised strategies to maintain the health and strength of all employees, reducing the incidence of workplace injuries and age-related health issues.
Implementing a PREHAB program ensures that employees have the necessary physical resilience, reducing the risk of injuries in the workplace.
Employees free from pain and physical limitations enjoy an improved quality of life, enabling them to engage more fully in their work and personal activities.
With all team members physically capable, tasks can be distributed more evenly, leading to a more efficient and happier working environment.
Regular participation in fitness and strength training, integral to the PREHAB program, can reduce the likelihood of chronic health problems, promoting long-term wellness.
Employ Health’s PREHAB programs delivered onsite at your Perth workplace are customisable and adaptable, offering both group and individual sessions to suit the varying needs within your workforce. These may include activities such as tailored Pilates, circuit training, or High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), designed for different group sizes. Personal sessions focus on specific areas needing improvement, like targeted strength training or core stability, ensuring personalised care.
PREHAB is recommended for employees at all times. Examples of where PREHAB can benefit your workforce include:
Crucial for preventing back pain, particularly for those in physically demanding roles or sedentary positions.
Tailored to prevent repetitive strain injuries, ideal for manual workers or those frequently using computers.
Essential for improving lower body strength and stability, supporting employees who stand or walk for extended periods.
