WorkCover approved - Remedial Massage

 

Professional recovery support for workplace injuries

When work leaves you sore, tight, or recovering from an injury - we're here to help you get moving again.

At Rapid Recovery, our qualified Remedial Massage Therapists provide approved WorkCover (WorkSafe) treatments that help relieve tension, support recovery, and keep you on track for your return to work.

We coordinate directly with GPs, case managers, and other Allied Health providers, so the process stays simple and stress-free.

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial Massage focuses on releasing tight or injured muscles, improving circulation, and supporting recovery from physical strain.

Your sessions may include:

  • Targeted soft-tissue and trigger-point therapy

  • Myofascial and stretching techniques

  • Movement and posture guidance

  • Home care or mobility strategies (as appropriate)

Each treatment is based on your approved injury management plan and WorkCover referral.

Common workplace injuries we see

Our Remedial Massage is designed to support recovery from work-related injuries - not general fatigue or soreness.

Our therapists commonly help clients recovering from:

  • Soft-tissue strains & sprains (neck, back, shoulder, or hip)

  • Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) such as forearm, wrist, or elbow overuse

  • Lifting or manual-handling injuries affecting the lower back or shoulders

  • Post-surgical or post-immobilisation stiffness following a workplace injury

  • Muscle compensation or tightness that develops while healing from a primary injury

Each session is guided by your approved WorkCover plan, supporting comfort, mobility, and function as you recover and return to work.

The WorkCover process

  1. Pre-Approval Required - Your WorkCover agent must approve Remedial Massage before appointments can be processed.

  2. Referral & Documentation - Your case manager gives you a letter confirming x number of remedial massage appointments (sometimes they will ask for a GP referral).

  3. Booking & Communication - Once approved, our admin team book your appointments

  4. Treatment & Reporting - We provide ongoing progress notes and reports as required.

Gap & Gap-Free options

We offer both gap and gap-free WorkCover Remedial Massage options, depending on your insurer's coverage and the session length. 

Our admin team will confirm your eligibility and any out-of-pocket amount before booking - so there are no surprises.

Coordinated care

Many clients combine Remedial Massage with Osteopathy for a complete recovery plan. Our practitioners work together to ensure clear communication, consistent treatment, and unified reporting for your WorkCover team.
