Work Related Activity Programs (WRAP)

We aim to improve the quality of our injured workers lives through the facilitation of work related activity programs.

Conducted at various fitness facility locations across the Sydney Metropolitan Area, our work related activity programs are specifically designed to address the physiological weaknesses identified during the Pre-Program Assessment.

By prescribing exercises that best simulate the job tasks of the injured worker, we directly improve the likelihood of a successful and durable return to work.

This enables us to provide sufficient education on the basic training principles required to further develop prescribed exercises and allows the worker to achieve ongoing improvements.

Setting Fitco Health Technologies’ programs apart is the impact that our unique NTD Functional Upgrade Planning Sessions and Post Program Medical Case Conferences have on RTW Upgrades; highlighting the superior level of communication that exists between our Work Conditioning Team and Nominated Treating Doctors (NTD). All key stakeholders are welcome to attend these appointments where possible.

Did you know that 83% of the referrals currently made for Exercise Physiology treatments occur >6 months post injury?

The Soft Tissue Injury Guidelines as published by Work Cover NSW indicate that work related activity programs are a recommended progression of treatment for workers with soft tissue injuries during the sub acute period (this is usually 4-12 weeks after injury). Particularly when a soft tissue injury continues beyond the expected recovery time and/or psychosocial risk factors are identified.

A Work Related Activity Program Is Needed When….

• Acute treatment methods are no longer resulting in significant functional improvement
• The  injury has been appropriately assessed and managed during the acute period, now requiring a suitable progression of treatment
• The injury is now in the sub acute period and the worker is not performing pre-injury duties
• The injury is not yet chronic and disabling (usually <12 weeks post injury)
• There is evidence of psychosocial risk factors and / or delayed recovery
• Activity levels are not progressing and / or fluctuate widely
• Insufficient suitable duties exist in the workplace to meet medical restrictions
• The injured worker requires a high level of supervision, instruction and reinforcement.
