Return to Work

Our therapists have the skills to facilitate a successful return to work and help mitigate the risk of further injury and discomfort.

We complete specialized assessments called Functional Capacity Evaluations and Functional Abilities Evaluations and subsequently provide you with a detailed report identifying your functional level and areas to work on.

We will work with you to create individualized, job-specific conditioning programs for gradual return to work. The programs include:

• Education regarding safe task performance
• Proper lifting techniques
• Task-specific Posture & Body mechanics
• Transfer techniques
• Ergonomic assessments
• Work station set up
• Adaptive equipment

We will also incorporate exercises to help you gain the ideal conditioning and stability for job-specific tasks.
