What is a Functional Rehabilitation Programme?

The programme consists of a course of six one to one sessions using a workshop style approach, but tailored to the individual situation and needs. The programme provides a toolkit of strategies, information and resources with tasks set between sessions to aid practical application of learning. The course includes the following topics:

The interaction between health dimensions that can affect energy and function –physical, mental, psychological, social, spiritual

Familiarity with the fine balance between activity, exercise, sleep and rest

The effects of fatigue, common energy “stealers and providers” and know how to use energy wisely for home and work;

Energy conservation and work simplification to minimise muscle fatigue, protect muscles and joints and minimise expenditure on time and energy, including identifying techniques for their personal use

Approaches to relaxation in promoting long term health and have identified relaxation techniques appropriate to their own needs.

Patterns of activity and how to engage in effective activity planning in supporting recovery and return to optimum function.

How to manage a recovery set back by understanding contributory causes and what steps to take to get back on track  

Application of strategies and principles learnt through the series of workshops in the workplace and supporting a sustained return to work

 Following completion of the sessions, additional return to work support can be offered.

Who is this suitable for?

Employees with long-term health conditions who are returning to work. This is particularly useful for individuals with fluctuating or invisible conditions such as mental health, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain or fatigue.

Kind words from our clients

Ergocom provided in depth consultation covering a phased return to work plan, equipment for both home and workplace that would help with recovery and advice surrounding how colleagues could help in the workplace. The phased return to work plan was successful in that the return to work has now been sustained over a number of years.
Andrew Fitzsimmons

Ergocom provided me with a friendly, approachable and very professional consultant who encouraged me where I felt I was regularly failing. Sue is just fantastic. I was speaking to someone who actually understood and who helped and supported me in a caring and constructive manner, which is what I so desperately needed. I have struggled badly, but this is the first decently sustained return to work after I had four failed attempts over a 16 month period.

It has been good to look back from when I was recovering from the operation, to getting back to work and to where I am now.  Christa’s support meant that I did not have to stress about work, and that I was not going to be forced into work before I was ready.  The ‘hand-holding’ when I did start work was important - I needed someone one to say, “no, not yet’ and “OK, now you are ready to give it a go".

It’s been really good having you working on the account and I have really valued your input (and wisdom ) on the wide variety of cases we have.

Support from Ergocom has been a great asset in my rehabilitation and return to work. Being able to speak to a third party with an understanding of the difficulties of returning from a major illness and surgery has been an invaluable source of comfort and support through the “ups and downs”.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support, I couldn’t have made it back to where I am now without your help. My doctor also said that he has been very impressed with how my employer has handled my return, and I believe that a lot of that credit must go to you. I was dreading returning to work, but you have made it so much easier than I thought it would be.

The help and advice I have received has been invaluable. The guidance and support provided to me has given me the tools I needed to work with my employer to ensure an amicable agreement during my return to work.
