Injury prevention and wellness

At Rehab Consultants, we partner with employers to create safer and more productive workplaces.
We conduct tailored assessments and various workshops/ training programs with a focus on workplace injury prevention and wellness, designed to support healthier, safer, and more engaged teams.

Assessments

  • Rehab Consultants conduct ergonomic assessment to recommend functional set-up of client’s workstations, optimizing posture, evaluating stressors to various body structures at the workstation and evaluating risk of musculoskeletal injury utilizing a holistic approach. An Ergonomic assessment report provides recommendations and advice pertaining to medical interventions, workplace adjustments/ modifications and equipment as required.

  • At Rehab Consultants, we provide Reasonable Adjustment Assessments to help employers create inclusive, safe, and supportive workplaces for individuals with injuries, disabilities, or health conditions. These assessments are designed to identify practical modifications that enable employees to perform their roles effectively while maintaining their health and wellbeing.

    Our experienced consultants collaborate with the employee, employer, and treating practitioners to gain a clear understanding of the worker’s role, capacity, and workplace environment. We then provide evidence-based recommendations that are both practical and sustainable.

    Adjustments may include:

    • Modifying work hours or rostering to support recovery.

    • Introducing assistive equipment or ergonomic solutions.

    • Redesigning tasks to reduce physical or psychological strain.

    • Implementing flexible work-from-home arrangements where appropriate.

    • Adjusting performance expectations during rehabilitation.

  • Rehab consultants conduct Functional capacity evaluation to assess an individual’s functional capacity so as to provide recommendations pertaining to medical interventions, work capabilities and/ or functional capacity to complete Vocational Rehabilitation.

  • This assessment is an objective, holistic and comprehensive assessment, assessing an individual’s functional participation in activities of daily living. Activities of daily living range from self care tasks such as dressing, bathing/ showering, toileting, eating, mobility or grooming; to domestic activities such as vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms, cooking, laundry tasks, pet care, shopping or gardening.

    The assessment report provides recommendations or advice on modifications to how the activities are completed by the individual, or adjustments to the task itself, or modifications to the individual’s home or provision of equipment/ services to simplify the activities of daily living.

TRAINING and workshops

  • Ubuntu is a Southern African term meaning "humanity." It is often translated as "I am because we are," underscoring the belief that our well-being is intricately linked to the well-being of others. This philosophy promotes values such as compassion, empathy, respect, and community support, which are essential for a healthy and productive workplace environment. The Ubuntu Program at Rehab Consultants aims to: Enhance workplace culture to support injured workers' recovery and integration; Prevent the onset or escalation of psychological injuries stemming from physical injuries; Promote a sense of community and mutual support among employees and clients; Foster resilience and psychological well-being in the workplace.

  • Rehab Consultants assist clients with injury prevention through manual handling training. This assessment aims to provide recommendations and advice to employers and employees on how to practice safe manual handling within the workplace. Rehab Consultants facilitate manual handling workshops, presentation and demonstrations; ensuring individuals attain basic knowledge on injury prevention when their roles involve manual handling of objects of any form, size or weight.

  • Techniques and tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mental health challenges. This includes mindfulness practices, stress reduction exercises, and resilience training.

  • Rehab Consultants assist organisations to engage in cultural and linguistic awareness discussions and to practically create inclusive workplace environments, that provide informed strategies to preventing and/ or managing workplace injuries.
