Mitchell Robinson
MSK Physiotherapist
We’ve helped countless patients successfully navigate the physical and administrative challenges of WorkCover and CTP claims, providing expert care and clear communication with your GP and case managers.
Motor Vehicle Accidents (CTP)
We proudly accept and treat patients eligible for Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance following a motor vehicle accident.
Steps for your CTP Claim
1. Notify your insurer: Inform them of your intent to receive treatment.
2. Consult your GP: Obtain a medical certificate.
3. Provide your claim number: Once approved, we bill the insurer directly with no gap fee.
The Importance of Early Treatment
As experts in whiplash, neck, and back pain, we know the immense benefits of early physiotherapy. We recommend an initial assessment within the first few days of a motor vehicle accident, even if pain feels mild, to prevent long-term complications.
WorkCover Claims
- Notify your employer: Inform them of the incident and your intent to receive physiotherapy treatment.
- Consult your GP: Obtain a valid WorkCover medical certificate.
- Receive a claim number: Get this from WorkCover or your employer’s insurance provider.
- Provide us with your details: Bring your approved claim number to your initial appointment.
- Direct Billing: Once approved, your invoices are forwarded directly to the WorkCover insurer—meaning no out-of-pocket gap fees for you.
- Start Early: We believe all injuries should be treated immediately. If your claim is still pending, you can pay our regular fees upfront and seek reimbursement once approved.

Start Your Recovery Today
Whichever stage of the claims process you are in, Abound Physio provides the expert care and objective data needed to ensure your body gets the support it needs to stay healthy for life.
Your 3-Step Recovery Pathway
At Abound Physio, we combine hands-on therapy, strength and conditioning expertise, and advanced objective measurement to build a rehab program focused on getting you back to your pre-injury capacity safely.
Beyond Pain Relief: Criterion-Based Return-To-Work Clearance
Return-to-work decisions shouldn’t rely on guesswork. We use criterion-based testing: you progress and are cleared for full duties only once your body shows the required strength, movement quality, and resilience.
This approach significantly reduces the risk of re-injury and gives both you and your employer confidence in your physical readiness.
Abound’s Objective Testing & Recovery Process
We take the guesswork out of your recovery. Here is how we ensure you are ready to return to work and life safely:
1
Objective Strength Testing (Dynamometry)
Using dynamometry, we measure peak torque and force development in your affected muscles and joints; no guesswork or manual testing.
- Limb Symmetry: We compare your injured side to your uninjured side to ensure balanced recovery.
- Absolute strength targets: We track your strength relative to the physical demands of your specific occupation or daily activities.
2
Functional Capacity & Movement Testing
We run a battery of functional tests tailored to your injury—whether that involves lifting mechanics, postural endurance, or dynamic movement:
- Movement Quality: High-speed video analysis and biomechanical screening ensure you aren’t using harmful compensation patterns.
- Work-Specific Tolerance: We test your capacity to perform the specific tasks required for your job under controlled conditions.
3
Confidence & Readiness for Work
Confidence matters as much as physical strength — fear of re-injury is a major barrier to returning to full duties after an accident.
- Subjective readiness: We actively monitor your confidence and comfort levels as we progress your physical loading.
- Reactive drills: We incorporate unpredictable, real-world scenarios into your rehab to ensure your body reacts safely and automatically.
The Graduated Return-to-Work Pathway
Passing your functional tests is the green light to begin transitioning back. We guide you through a phased approach:
- Initial Recovery: Focus on pain relief, reducing inflammation, and restoring basic range of motion.
- Targeted Strengthening: Rebuilding muscle capacity and endurance in our state-of-the-art facility.
- Workplace Simulation: Bridging general fitness to the specific physical demands of your occupation.
- Modified Duties/Hours: A gradual re-introduction to the workplace to build tolerance safely.
- Full Unrestricted Clearance: Back to your pre-injury duties with complete confidence.

Yes, and we highly recommend it. Early treatment is crucial for preventing long-term complications, especially for whiplash and back injuries.
If your claim is still pending, you simply pay our regular consultation fees upfront. Once your claim is approved, you can seek reimbursement directly from the insurance company.
While you do not need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist as a private patient, you do need a medical certificate from your GP if you are claiming through WorkCover or CTP insurance.
This is a mandatory step in the claims process to ensure your insurer covers the cost of your rehabilitation.
For your first WorkCover or CTP appointment, please bring your approved claim number, the medical certificate from your GP, and details of your insurance company or case manager.
If you have any relevant scans or reports (such as X-rays or MRIs), please bring those along as well.
