WorkCover REHABILITATION at The Movement Standard


At The Movement Standard, we understand that workplace injuries can happen to anyone. Whether you work in a physically demanding environment or one that requires less physical exertion, accidents are common and often lead to complications if not treated properly. That’s where we come in. We are dedicated to providing a multidisciplinary approach to your recovery, ensuring you return to work as safely and efficiently as possible.

What is WorkCover Queensland?

WorkCover Queensland is a government-provided accident insurance scheme that covers medical expenses for individuals who sustain injuries while working. This support is crucial to help employees recover from work-related injuries, preventing further damage or long-term disability. WorkCover covers a wide range of injuries, from physical trauma to injuries caused by repetitive strain or stress.

At The Movement Standard, we work directly with WorkCover to help individuals recover and reintegrate into the workforce, offering a combination of physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and rehabilitation support.

How We Help With WorkCover Claims

Dealing with a workplace injury can be stressful, and getting the right treatment is key to ensuring a full recovery. We understand the pressures that come with navigating your WorkCover claim, and our team is here to make the process as smooth as possible. From the moment you visit our clinic, we’re focused on helping you recover and get back to your job with confidence.

Our Approach

At The Movement Standard, we take a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to recovery. Our team is made up of qualified physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and rehabilitation specialists who work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your individual injury, health conditions, working environment, and personal recovery goals.

We don’t just treat the injury – we consider all aspects of your physical and mental health, taking into account the demands of your job and your long-term well-being. Our goal is to provide a safe, sustainable recovery that reduces the risk of re-injury and allows you to return to work confidently.


Multidisciplinary Care for Optimal Recovery

The recovery process is not one-size-fits-all, which is why we offer individualised treatment that evolves with your progress. Initially, you may begin with physiotherapy, where our skilled physiotherapists will assess your injury, diagnose the condition, and use hands-on treatment techniques to address pain and restore movement.

Once your injury is more stable, our exercise physiologists will help you transition into more active rehabilitation. This hands-off treatment phase will focus on building strength, improving endurance, and ensuring your body is prepared for the demands of your work. Our team works in close collaboration to ensure a smooth handover from physiotherapy to exercise physiology, making your recovery as efficient as possible.



  • Our multidisciplinary team takes the time to understand your specific injury, health needs, and job requirements. This ensures that your recovery program is not only effective but also aligns with your lifestyle, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

  • We use advanced technologies and evidence-based practices to develop treatment plans that are both safe and effective. You can trust that our methods are scientifically proven to support the body’s natural healing process and reduce the risk of re-injury.

  • Our team is made up of highly experienced physiotherapists and exercise physiologists who are specially trained to treat work-related injuries. With a wealth of knowledge in occupational health, we can effectively address your injury and prevent future issues.

  • We ensure that you receive continuous, seamless care. After starting with physiotherapy, we will transition you to exercise physiology to further your recovery. This step-by-step approach ensures that you’re progressing safely and steadily toward returning to work.

  • We don’t just want to get you back to work – we want to ensure you can maintain your health long-term. Our programs are designed to reduce the risk of future injury and ensure your overall wellness. By focusing on strength, flexibility, and conditioning, we help you build resilience against future workplace hazards.

Why Choose The Movement Standard for WorkCover Recovery?

The Treatment Process

1. Initial Assessment

When you first come to our clinic, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment to understand your injury and its impact on your body. This includes discussing your medical history, your current symptoms, and the nature of your job. Based on this, we will develop a tailored treatment plan.

2. Physiotherapy Treatment

Our physiotherapists will help you manage pain, restore mobility, and prevent the injury from worsening. Hands-on techniques, manual therapy, and specific exercises will be used to ensure you’re moving safely and effectively during your recovery.

3. Exercise Physiology Rehabilitation

Once your physiotherapy treatment has stabilised your injury, you will be guided into a rehabilitation program with our exercise physiologists. This phase will focus on strength training, improving mobility, and preparing your body for the demands of your work.

4. Return to Work Readiness

Our team will continually assess your progress and work closely with your employer, if needed, to ensure that you’re ready to return to work safely. By building strength and improving your functional capacity, we help minimise the risk of re-injury as you transition back to your role.

5. Ongoing Support

Your recovery doesn’t stop once you return to work. We continue to provide support and monitor your progress, ensuring that you’re not only injury-free but also equipped with the tools to maintain long-term health and wellness.
