return to work support

At Motus Health we have a team of vocationally trained physiotherapists and occupational therapists who specialise in getting you back to work in a safe and sustainable manner following injury. This is often via the fully funded ACC vocational rehabilitation service. 

The team will work with the patient, the employer, GP and surgeon to ensure everyone is in agreement with the return to work plan. Progress will be closely monitored by a Motus health vocational provider and changes to the plan can be quickly made depending on how you are progressing.

Motus Health also provides occupational health services to larger employers, with the aim of treating pain and discomfort at work quickly, before something more serious occurs.

Whether you’re a large scale employer or a growing small business, our experienced team works alongside you to ensure your workforce stays fit for work and supported when they’re not.

Our Core Services

Return to Work and Rehabilitation Support

When injury or illness happens, we coordinate care and create practical return to work plans that meet both employee and business needs. We help you navigate ACC, reduce downtime, and support recovery.

Pain and Discomfort services

We work with large employers who refer their team members to Motus Health when they are experiencing pain and discomfort, often caused by the nature of work.

The Motus Health team will recommend exercises, stretches, or modifications to how the job could be done in order to ease the discomfort. The Motus team will also liaise with the employer to recommend changes within the workplace. This may include stretching and warm-up regimes for the team before they commence work, manual handling and lifting training, or specific exercises tailored to the work station.

Ergonomic and Workstation Assessments

Our experts identify risks and provide actionable recommendations to improve comfort and productivity, whether on-site or for remote workers.
