Injured workers benefit from physical therapy services from the onset of injury through their return to work. Early intervention consists of treatment for acute musculoskeletal problems and other injuries. Most patients who receive appropriate treatment early, return to their job without additional rehabilitation services.
Work Hardening
A highly structured, goal-oriented, individualized treatment program designed to return the person to work. These interdisciplinary programs use real or simulated work activities designed to restore physical, behavioral and vocational function and address the issues of productivity, safety, physical tolerances and worker behaviors.
Work Conditioning
A work related, intensive, goal-oriented treatment program specifically designed to restore systemic, neuro-musculoskeletal strength, endurance, movement, flexibility, motor control and cardiovascular function. The objective of this program is to restore pre-injury physical capacity and function so the patient may return to work.
