Wellness at Work
Wellness at Work is an injury prevention and injury management program, which has been developed over the last three years. It stems from the programs implemented by Kevin Whitford at the Adelaide Crows and Kath Chigwidden at the Adelaide Thunderbirds. At the Adelaide Crows, their injury prevention and management program has been highly successful in significantly decreasing the soft tissue injuries over the last 6 seasons.
Currently PhysioXtra are successfully implementing and running Wellness programs in businesses throughout South Australia ranging from aged care homes to manufacturers.
