Our physical and occupational therapists seek to restore strength, mobility, endurance, balance and function after injury, illness, surgery or disease. Treatment programs have a return-to-work focus, alleviating current dysfunction and pain and getting the patient back to his or her highest level of job-specific function possible, as quickly as possible. We also educate patients on how to prevent future problems.

Our therapists are knowledgeable about the specific requirements of your workers' jobs and are able to identify and describe the problem quickly and succinctly. Major components of our physical therapy include work injury, general orthopedic, and spine and sports injury rehabilitation.

Physical therapy alone may not be enough to a get a worker back on the job to stay. Work conditioning is a rigorous combination of physical and occupational therapy designed to ramp up worker function to the level needed to return safely to the job. The program focuses on strength, flexibility, aerobics and job simulation to build up a worker's endurance and tolerance for the task, and addresses any behavioral issues that might be an impediment to a rapid return to work.

Our job simulations are highly specific, and we've created a whole center dedicated to this program. To prevent re-injury, we conduct ergonomics education or recommend compensatory strategies to work around an injury. We may also recommend changes to equipment or a job reassignment.
