Injury Treatment’s range of Single Rehabilitation Services, as outlined below, is a range of tailored ‘one-off’ services, each at fixed costs, with the aim of achieving cost effective quality outcomes for all our customers
Each of these services is crafted to rapidly eliminate any identified barriers to rehabilitation resulting in safe, timely and durable return to work and claims outcomes.
Our consultants boast an unparalleled level of clinical and rehabilitation which provides for confident, clinically-reasoned assessment, clear barrier identification and management, sound decision making and recommendations.
With support and clinical guidance from our team, our customers can select and match the required service to the workers’ needs, obtain a short term solution and then continue to manage the claim themselves. This can be useful when an independent opinion is required or, alternatively, when employer resources are low.
