Initial Assessment

BainsPhysio™ program commences with Initial Functional Assessment (IFA) of the patients current abilities and also the limitations.  We generate IFA score.  The score is the ratio between the ability and the disability of the patients seen by us.

This makes it easy to use system that allows our Physiotherapists, along with the patient, the patient’s Case Manager and the patient’s employer, to monitor the patient’s progress

At the end of the initial assessment SHORT TERM and LONG TERM goals are discussed, agreed and set between the Physiotherapist and the patient.

Following this initial assessment BainsPhysio™ can provide a comprehensive medico-legal reporting service

TREATMENT

BainsPhysio™ is able to see patients in a variety of settings;

1.    At their  home as Home Visits
2.    Clinic Visits
3.    Gym Sessions at the PHYSIOfitness™ Feel Good Centre

The location of the initial assessment and treatment sessions is largely dependent on patient preference, the nature and severity of the injury and the type of job or previous activity levels of the patient.

The Back-to-Work Program typically lasts for 8-14 weeks using evidence-based treatment protocols. The detailed initial assessment and goal setting allow our Physiotherapists to formulate tailor-made treatment program specific to the patient’s needs.

We aim to motivate and connect patients with an attitude of independence, and responsibility to their own future health and wellbeing.

Specific work conditioning - performed with most patients to improve strength, endurance, and postural tolerances prior to return to work. Manual Handling and Postural / Ergonomic Advice – if relevant, common types and mechanisms of manual handling injuries can be discussed in relation to the identification and reduction of risks during work practices and the demonstration and practice of basic handling techniques. Workstation ergonomics and the principles of postural awareness can also be discussed if appropriate.
