WHY DO SOME PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO return to work?

For many people, pain becomes the defining problem that limits their return-to-work plans. When pain persists beyond the acute phase, significant changes start happening in the body that can make the pain stick. It’s complex, because pain is not just pain. Sleep, mood, the ability to get things done - pain affects all of these, while these changes in turn make pain worse. It’s a vicious cycle.

The boost recovery program can help

BOOST Recovery is an award-winning virtual care clinical program supporting self-management of pain recovery using evidence-based approaches. Your patient will work with an Allied Health pain-informed, expert Pain Coach to co-design a goal-oriented plan of care. BOOST will provide your patient with the guidance, skills, training and encouragement needed to put their care plan into practice.

BOOST helps reduce the risk of unnecessary claims costs from overservicing and excessive interventions.

Helping injured workers
Find the path out of pain

The BOOST Recovery Program is delivered in two phases: the BOOST Recovery Pathfinder followed by the BOOST Recovery Program.

BOOST Pathfinder

Delivered in four sessions over two weeks, the Pathfinder is a series of discovery and practical problem-solving sessions. It utilises standardised evidence-based testing, and includes some introductory pain science education. The Pathfinder Report is created in collaboration with the injured worker, outlining the best pathway for their future treatment.

BOOST is suitable for injured workers whose RTW is not progressing as expected.

BOOST Recovery Program

The BOOST Recovery Program is uniquely customisable, with each person’s program adapted to suit their specific recovery needs. The program encompasses pain education, graded exposure, skills for planning and pacing, and other psychologically-informed strategies for lasting behaviour change. All participants are given lifetime access to the BOOST Recovery app and the BOOST Learning Materials.

There are two BOOST Program pathways post-Pathfinder:

BOOST Lite (4 weeks), suitable for people with low distress and high levels of engagement.

BOOST Prime (10 weeks), suitable for people with high distress and high levels of engagement.
