Our Services for Workforce Health

Promote a healthy, productive workforce by creating a safe environment. We advise employers on the best ways to prevent injuries and maintain health on the job. We offer:

• Case management: Therapists and social workers can provide support and guidance for employees and employers when it comes to insurance, FMLA and workers’ compensation.
• Functional capacity testing: Specially trained therapists evaluate your employees’ ability to perform all the physical functions the job requires to help reduce the risk of injury.
• Rehabilitation: Physical and occupational therapists treat a range of work injuries, including overuse and repetitive strain injuries and concussions.
• Work conditioning: We analyze the full requirements of your job and tailor a therapy plan accordingly. Work conditioning, or work hardening, simulates real tasks, such as lifting or operating equipment.
• Worksite evaluations: Our team assesses the safety of your workplace and provides recommendations for ergonomic adjustments or movement strategies to reduce repetitive injuries. We also have experts who can provide consultations on OSHA and ADA compliance.
