Quality Objective and Evidence-based Functional Capacity Evaluations and Medicolegal Assessments.

Susan Carmichael Physiotherapy uses WorkWell Systems for their Functional Capacity Evaluations and Medicolegal Assessments.

WorkWell is an objective, standardized and evidence-based system used to assess an individual’s performance to their safest maximum ability. These assessments are valid and reliable and always keep safety and injury prevention at the forefront. This enables the employee to participate to their full ability without fear of injury, providing a more accurate assessment. Reports are concise, objective, legally defensible and medically sound enabling the employer and insurer to make more accurate decisions. Recommendations for rehabilitation, job modification or environmental modifications are made to allow smooth transition of return to work.

Susan Carmichael qualified as a Physiotherapist from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2006.
