Personalized Care for Work-Related Injuries
Our comprehensive work injury rehabilitation program treats acute and chronic conditions resulting from any work-related injury.
Work Injury Rehabilitation Goals:
• To return the injured worker back to work through individualized work-related injury therapy
• To assist case managers, adjustors and risk/safety managers in reducing lost days.
As a part of our work injury treatment therapy, we perform Functional Capacity Evaluations, Post Offer Screens, Return to Work Evaluations and Impairment Ratings – all solutions to help minimize the increasing costs of workers compensation.
Work Conditioning
If an injury at work has impeded your performance in the workplace, our work injury rehabilitation program provides an aggressive yet cautious approach to getting you back to work quickly and at an optimum performance level.
Your personal physical therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation of functional limitations and areas of pain. Our team of expert physical therapists will design a treatment plan based on your work-related needs and goals. This includes real or simulated work activities specific to your job, such as lifting, climbing or keyboarding.
We take a team approach and will consult with your employer and case manager, if necessary. Throughout your treatment, we will work hard to help you return to all normal functional activities. When you are ready for discharge, you will receive a personalized home exercise program to allow you to stay healthy on the job, further enhance your rehabilitation outcome and prevent the possibility of re-injury.
Return to Work Evaluations
The Return to Work Evaluation is a modified Functional Capacity Evaluation. It is shorter and streamlined to the patient’s specific job description and requirements. The information obtained is used to determine if the patient is physically able to return to work and perform his or her job safely and without complication.
Post-Offer Screen
The post-offer screen evaluation is designed with input from the employer to determine if a candidate for employment is physically able to perform the requirements of the job. This information allows the employer to place candidates in the most physically appropriate job while minimizing the potential for injury.
