Return-to-work therapy, also known as Industrial Rehabilitation, is designed to help individuals return to their job after an injury or surgery. We strive to identify barriers to returning to work, and we work with the patient to safely transition back into the workplace. Aside from traditional physical/ occupational therapy, our services include:

· Job-site analysis

· Work conditioning/ work hardening

· Functional capacity evaluations

Job-site analysis: Involves observation of workers in their work environment to identify and correct activities placing the worker at risk for injury.

Work conditioning/ hardening: This program involves therapy to improve strength, endurance, and overall tolerance to work activities. Individuals in this program participate in therapy for 2-4 hours/ day for 3-5 days/ week.

Functional capacity evaluation: This is a test to determine if an individual can return to their specific job or whether they can return to any level of work. This evaluation consists of multiple tests lasting 4-8 hours.
