What is a Pre Employment assessment?
The Physio Movement Pre employment functional assessments, or Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) are a series of examinations that allow us to provide information on an individual’s physical strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. This information is usually requested by a potential employer and can help determine if individuals are physically capable of performing the tasks required of that specific job role. A pre employment assessment or Functional Capacity Evaluation can also help categorise if the individual is high or low risk for injuries on a job site.

At The Physio Movement we conduct Pre employment assessments prior to starting a new job, returning to work following an injury or accident, or requested check-ups from your employer.
