CTP physiotherapy, EP and Massage may be available if you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident and your Compulsory Third Party (CTP) claim has been accepted by the insurer.

At PhysioWorks, we provide structured rehabilitation including physiotherapy, accredited exercise physiology and, where appropriate, remedial massage during the acute and sub-acute recovery phases.

What Is CTP Physiotherapy?

CTP physiotherapy supports people recovering from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. Once your claim is accepted, treatment may be funded by the CTP insurer under approved guidelines.

Rehabilitation focuses on:

• Pain reduction
• Restoring movement and strength
• Improving functional capacity
• Supporting return to work and normal activities

Acute and Sub-Acute Motor Accident Treatment

In the early stages after an accident, treatment may include:

• Physiotherapy for joint mobility, muscle activation and pain management
• Remedial massage to address muscle spasm, protective guarding and soft tissue tightness
• Education on safe movement and activity pacing

Massage is typically used as an adjunct in the acute or sub-acute phase when clinically justified and approved by the insurer.

Exercise Physiology in Later-Stage Rehabilitation

As recovery progresses, accredited exercise physiology may support structured rehabilitation, including:

• Graduated strengthening programs
• Reconditioning after prolonged inactivity
• Work capacity preparation
• Return-to-sport progression

Exercise-based rehabilitation plays an important role in long-term recovery following motor vehicle injuries.
