Work Injury Treatment in Prestons
A work injury can affect your income, sleep, confidence and daily routine. Our Prestons team provides assessment, treatment and structured rehabilitation for workplace injuries. If you want treatment through workers compensation, call the clinic and insurer before booking to check what your claim requires.
Work injuries we commonly treat
We help with lower back strains, neck pain, shoulder injuries, repetitive strain, lifting injuries, slips and falls, knee and ankle injuries, headaches from posture or tension, and flare-ups caused by physical or desk-based work.
Your treatment plan is based on your job demands, symptoms and goals, whether you need to return to heavy duties, tolerate desk work again or rebuild confidence after an accident.
How WorkCover physiotherapy helps
Physiotherapy for work injuries may include assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise rehab, education, graded activity planning and progress reporting. Where appropriate, we coordinate with your insurer, GP, employer or case manager.
The aim is to support your function and recovery with a plan based on your injury, current abilities and job demands. No particular treatment or return-to-work result can be guaranteed.
Based on your assessment and workers compensation requirements, care at our Prestons clinic may include WorkCover physiotherapy or workers compensation chiropractic.
What to bring to your first appointment
If your treatment is under WorkCover or another insurer, bring your claim details, insurer information, referral if required and any certificates or reports you have. For private appointments, no referral is needed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose my own physio for a work injury?
This depends on your claim and the treatment you are asking about. Before booking, ask your insurer whether you can choose the treating physiotherapist, then call the clinic with any claim, referral, approval or relevant clinical documents you already have.
Do you provide WorkCover physiotherapy?
The clinic accepts enquiries about physiotherapy for work-related injuries under the NSW workers compensation scheme. Call before booking to check practitioner availability and the requirements that may apply to your claim.
What if my claim is not approved yet?
You can still call us to discuss your options, including a standard private appointment. Ask your insurer whether funding is available for the treatment you are considering; this depends on your claim status and current requirements.
Can you help with return-to-work planning?
Treatment may include graded rehabilitation and functional goals based on your job. With your authorisation, the clinic can provide required clinical information or progress updates.
