Communication between your hand therapist, treating surgeon, GP and the workplace can make returning to work after a hand injury a positive experience.
It’s important that your return to work is coordinated well and in a manner that does not have a negative impact on your recovery.
We like to assist with the planning for a return to work very early in the rehabilitation process if we feel suitable work is available for the employee and they are not at risk of re-injury.
In more complex cases, we will seek a referral to an occupational rehabilitation provider for assistance with return to work planning.
