Mitchell Services

Mitchell Services will be using us to assist with preventative physio for his greenhorns. The idea is that we will be providing baseline physio assessments at commencement, at 2 weeks and at 4 weeks after commencement to help address and prevent injuries and to provide education in relation to identifying sprains/strains and self-treatment. These guys have already undergone pre-commencement functional/pre-employments. This is really more about helping them stay strong and healthy while transitioning into a physical role.

Baseline assessment

• discussion about any movement concerns, aches, pains etc

• discussion if they are having any concerns or challenges in their current job role

• general mobility screen with additional strength testing as warranted

• manual handling review

• provision of a self-management plan to address mobility and strength deficits to improve functional areas

• education regarding differentiation of normal muscle soreness vs injury

• self-management techniques to address/recovery from activity soreness

Follow up sessions

• review of progress from initial assessment

• discussion of any new concerns/challenges

• treatment for areas of concern (mobilisations, soft tissue management, self-treatment techniques, etc)

• ongoing education on self-care techniques

A record of attendance is completed (see attached file). This document needs to be sent to Paul p.morrison@mitchellservices.com.au.

These assessments are documented in Nookal.

Ensure that subsequent assessments are booked in at the time of your initial booking.
