Industrial Rehabilitation

 

Industrial Rehabilitation/ Labor and Industries:  We provide rehabilitation of work-related injuries as well as physical capacity evaluations, work hardening, work conditioning and onsite ergonomic assessments.

  • Work-related injuries:  We help get injured workers back on the job.  We provide individualized treatment by licensed professionals.
  • What is a Physical Capacity Evaluation (PCE)?:  This four hour assessment takes the worker through specific job related tasks in a safe environment.  A detailed report will be generated to enable the Doctor, Vocational Rehab counselor, Rehabilitation Nurse, or Claims Manager to better guide the injured worker through either their re-training or return to work.
  • What is Work Hardening?  An intensive, individualized program designed to increase physical conditioning and functional work tolerances to help injured workers safely return to work.  The program is performed over a 1-6 week period with a steady progression of workloads toward job requirements.  It provides a transition between medical care and return to work by improving the worker’s biomechanical, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and psycho-social functions.
  • What is Work Conditioning?  Individualized program based on injury and return to work goals.  It consists of whole body conditioning, injury-specific exercises and work simulation tasks.  It also provides education regarding injury, exercise, posture, body mechanics and self-care. 
  • Onsite Ergonomic Assessments:  We provide ergonomic assessments at your place of business to help treat or prevent repetitive strain injuries.  A licensed Physical Therapist will evaluate your work environment to identify potential risks for future injury or causes of current problems.
