Not a referrer? If you have been referred to us, or you are thinking about it, here is what to expect.
Who we work with
CTP and motor vehicle injury
Whiplash, spinal and soft tissue rehabilitation after an accident. We write and submit the rehabilitation plan to the insurer so the claimant does not have to.
Veterans and DVA
Gold and white card holders. No session cap and no chronic disease plan required. Veterans train together in a normal gym at Chermside.
Mental health and psychological injury
Trauma-informed exercise physiology for anxiety, depression and PTSD, including psychological injury arising from a physical claim.
NDIS participants
Capacity building and functional exercise for neurological conditions, chronic pain, mobility and falls risk.
GPs and medical referrers
When exercise physiology is indicated, what reports come back, and the Medicare, DVA, WorkCover and CTP pathways.
Employers and workplace injury prevention
Psychosocial risk assessment, leader training, physical demands analysis, manual handling and on-site early intervention. Engaged directly by the employer, before a claim exists.
Everything we treat
The full list by presentation, from disc injury and post-surgical rehabilitation through to fatigue, driving anxiety and deconditioning.

Where physical and psychological recovery meet
Most claims that run long are not purely physical. Pain that will not settle, avoidance of the movement that caused the injury, poor sleep, low confidence about returning to the workplace. These are the things that keep a file open.
Our director delivers hospital-based mental health programming at Pine Rivers Private Hospital and works with the University of the Sunshine Coast on exercise and wellbeing research. That work sits behind how we treat psychological injury here, and it is not something you will find at a general exercise physiology clinic.
Most long-running claims are not stalled for physical reasons. They stall because nobody has treated the other half.
What people say
on Google, every review five stars
I have been seeing Zak as my EP for over three years and I can say that the change to my mobility and overall health have been remarkable. I am stronger, fitter, have lost 5kgs; my blood pressure, resting heart rate and cholesterol have all improved. He educates me on the factors impacting my wellbeing during our sessions, continually modifying my program in recognition of my long term conditions and those arising as a part of life.
I’ve been working with Zak and Michael the past few months after an injury. The help from both of them has boosted my recovery past where I thought I’d be. I’d highly recommend Rehab Insight to anyone in need of their services.
From my very first session, he took the time to understand my goals, explain everything clearly, and create a program that was tailored to me. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my strength, mobility, and overall confidence.
Really helpful and genuinely wants to see you improve both physically and mentally. Highly recommend.
I’m extremely happy with the services at Rehab Insight in assisting with my rehabilitation. The team are very knowledgeable and I find the tailored programs easy to follow and effective.
I’ve been training with Zak at Rehab Insight for about 3 months so far, and my progress and recovery in this time has been more than I ever hoped for. Really thankful for his knowledge and experience.
