DO YOU HAVE BACK & NECK PAIN?
Workability has developed a best practice rehabilitation program used by accredited
physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and doctors. This program helps you take
control of your pain and your activities, so that you can get back to your life. We call it
BNAP – the Back & Neck Assistance Program.

WHAT IS BNAP?
BNAP is an early intervention, functional rehabilitation program driven by
physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and doctors. We’ve developed it to improve
your pain and normalise function so that you can get back to Work and Life.

WHY BNAP?
Back and Neck pain is common, but pain that is present on most days for more than 3
months starts disabling you for work and life. And the longer the condition continues, the
greater the chances of disability. Multiple interventions and surgery can often be avoided
by an early intervention program like the Workability’s BNAP Program.

WHAT BENEFITS SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
• You will receive a comprehensive initial assessment by a physiotherapist, a doctor and,
if necessary, an occupational therapist.
• A physiotherapist will work with you to set treatment goals. Depending on your risk
category, you will need to attend anything from one to twelve sessions.
• As part of the treatment, the therapist will tailor a personalised treatment plan that
includes structured exercise, a home routine and pain management strategies.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If your medical aid has a contract with Workability and you are authorised for the program,
then the BNAP program will not cost you anything as the full cost of BNAP is covered by
your medical aid and is not taken from your medical savings account (T&C apply).
