Integrated Functional Fitness Program

The best time to address work-related strains, sprains and other injuries is before they occur. As part of our Integrated Functional Fitness Program, HealthForce work injury and fitness specialists provide direction and strategies to address potential risk factors before an employee’s discomfort results in lost time or a disability claim. Incorporating key principles of physical therapy, occupational therapy and ergonomics, we deliver our services where they are needed most — at the worksite.

Customer benefits
The HealthForce Integrated Functional Fitness Program helps you and your employees work together to create a healthier work environment that yields:

»  

increased employee productivity and attention to safety,

»  

improved muscular flexibility, strength, endurance and overall joint stability,

»  

fewer recordable incidents and related healthcare costs,

»  

fewer and less costly disability claims, and

»  

improved employee morale and retention.


Our services are flexible and can be delivered either one-on-one or in groups. Regardless of format or group size, we always make time to interact with each employee and provide customized advice and coaching based on his or her specific job duties and capabilities. We also tailor our services to tie in with existing educational programs, health fairs or safety initiatives you currently provide for your employees.


Post-injury services
Our primary goal is always to prevent work-related discomfort and injury. In the event of an incident, however, we offer post-injury advice and support to prevent further injury and successfully transition the injured employee back to work. Topics include:

»  

safe body mechanics and posture,

»  

work pacing and task rotation, and

»  

injury and re-injury prevention methods.


Our work injury specialists address unforeseen issues that arise once the employee returns to work. We help the employee take concepts learned in a clinic setting and apply them to everyday tasks and situations at work. If needed, we also consult regarding possible modification of work habits or the physical environment to facilitate return to work.

 
 

Job coaching is most effective when performed at the worksite, where it has the most immediate, positive impact on worker safety and productivity.

 

HealthForce work injury and fitness experts provide customized advice and useful techniques to help employees work effectively and prevent injuries.
