The aim of return to work rehabilitation is to help individuals return to work after being ill
or injured. Our approaches are tailored to suit each individual's needs by implementing a
goal-directed occupational therapy programme. We encourage our patients to take ownership of
their health, and address concerns that can prevent them from returning to work.
By applying specific therapeutic techniques, we are able to address anxiety around returning to
work. We also look at physical endurance and applying work-simulated activities during therapy.
Our aim is to increase your employee's independence and function in the workplace through a
holistic and client-centred approach; while taking their psychological and social needs into
consideration.
Employees can benefit from occupational therapy because they are able to return to filling their
work role as quickly as possible, while optimally managing their pain and/or functional limitations.
When employers invest in these services, they also benefit from increased employee satisfaction and
retention. This leads to fewer rands being spent on hiring and training new staff. Furthermore,
optimal rehabilitation of employee’s into their work role improves employee productivity and
efficiency.
Research shows that long-term work absence and unemployment are harmful to physical and mental
health and well-being. Recent evidence on return to work rates indicates that the longer a person is
absent from work, the harder it is for them to return to work. This reinforces the importance of
vocational rehabilitation as an early intervention approach to facilitating recovery after an injury
or illness. Avoiding prolonged workplace disability also benefits insurers, as it avoids unnecessary
long-term disability payouts.
