Our history
Like most physiotherapy businesses, Biosymm started out as a private practice
In this environment, we continually encountered obstacles treating injured workers and became frustrated at having our treatment success impacted heavily by issues beyond our control.
After some discussion, we pursued the idea of onsite physiotherapy – we saw it as a better way to facilitate a speedy recovery with knowledge of the workplace, whilst also saving costs associated with workers leaving the workplace for treatment.
By working closely with our partners, we began to understand the risks experienced by businesses and expanded our services to encompass methods to reduce this risk profile.
With this approach, both our business and our reputation for outstanding service provision grew.
What does the name Biosymm mean?
The name originates from our foundation in performing functional capacity evaluations.
- ‘Bio’ Biomechanics – relates to the study of human movement and function.
- ‘symm’ symmetry – the more symmetrical the body is in terms of strength, flexibility and function, the lower the risk of injury occurring.
Identifying and addressing these factors plays a key role in reducing injury risk.
Biosymm expansion
Biosymm’s growth has been characterised by strategic steps tailored to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
The alignment with Construct Health marked a significant advancement in our services, allowing us to expand on-the-ground corporate health and wellbeing support directly to workplaces within Queensland’s Bowen Basin.
In addition to this, Construct Health’s physiotherapy clinics provide communities in the region access to quality injury management.
Equally important was our union with Ergoworks, which brought further established success in white collar office ergonomics to the Biosymm family, as well as a number of high-profile onsite physiotherapy clients throughout NSW and nationally.
Ergoworks is an industry leader in aiding employees in office-based workplaces with all their ergonomic needs, from individual and workplace design consulting to online cloud-based ergonomic platforms to ergonomic equipment provision and more.
These alliances reflect our commitment to health and safety, grounded in our biomechanical expertise, as we strive to continually foster a work environment that is both healthy and productive.
