The mantra 'work is good for health' is familiar to those assisting in the rehabilitation of injured workers and is well supported in the literature. Regulators, workers compensation insurers and health professional bodies have taken steps over the last few years to promote early and safe return to work after a workplace injury. Improving direct access to physiotherapy and extending the role of physiotherapists to authorise work capacity certificates for injured workers will potentially facilitate early intervention, reduce absence from work in a cost-effective system while maintaining patient satisfaction. Several challenges to advancing the role of physiotherapists exist but are not insurmountable.
“工作有益健康” 这句口头禅，对于协助受伤工人康复的人来说并不陌生，且在文献中有充分的支持。在过去几年里，监管机构、工伤赔偿保险公司和健康专业团体已采取措施，以促进工伤后尽早安全地重返工作岗位。改善直接获得物理治疗的机会，并扩大物理治疗师为受伤工人开具工作能力证明的职责，这可能会促进早期干预，在保持患者满意度的同时，以具有成本效益的方式减少旷工现象。虽然推进物理治疗师职责存在一些挑战，但并非无法克服。
