Hire with confidence with Pre-employment Physio Assessment — protect your team and your business.

At After Hours Physio, we help employers make safe, informed hiring decisions through detailed pre-employment physiotherapy assessments.

These job-specific evaluations match a candidate’s physical capabilities with the real demands of their role. As a result, you can reduce injury risk, support a healthy workplace, and stay compliant with safety regulations.

✅ What is a Pre-Employment Physio Assessment?

A pre-employment assessment is a physical screening that identifies whether a candidate is suitable for a role from a functional perspective. It’s especially valuable in jobs involving physical labour, repetitive movements, manual handling, or awkward postures.

Employers often use these assessments as part of the recruitment process to reduce workplace injuries, lower compensation claims, and improve workforce productivity.

🔍 What’s Included in the Pre-Employment Physio Assessment

We tailor each assessment to reflect the unique physical demands of the role. Key components include:

🔸 Functional Capacity Testing
We test essential physical movements like lifting, carrying, squatting, pushing, pulling, overhead reach, and prolonged postures.

🔸 Musculoskeletal Screening
This step identifies any previous injuries or biomechanical risk factors that may affect job performance.

🔸 Postural and Movement Analysis
We observe the candidate’s posture, movement patterns, and joint control to flag any potential issues.

🔸 Job-Specific Testing
Tasks are replicated as closely as possible to simulate real job demands and identify limitations.

🔸 Balance, Coordination & Endurance
When relevant, we also assess the candidate’s ability to perform repetitive or dynamic movements.
