Work Injuries
Getting back to work safely means rebuilding the specific capacity your job demands, not simply waiting until the pain has gone quiet.
Also called:Workers comp injury, Workplace injury, On-the-job injury
What it feels like
- Back or shoulder pain from lifting
- Repetitive strain from the same task
- Pain that returns on your first shift back
- Difficulty meeting your job’s physical demands
Returning to work is a physical target with specific requirements. Rehab should be built backwards from those requirements.
How we treat it
Therapeutic Exercise
A progressive, individually prescribed exercise programme that rebuilds strength, mobility and control so improvements hold after discharge.
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on treatment of joints and soft tissue to restore movement and reduce pain, delivered by a licensed physical therapist rather than a machine.
Ergonomic Training
Practical assessment of how you sit, stand, lift and work, with changes you can actually sustain rather than a list of ideal postures.
Physical Therapy
A full evaluation, a diagnosis you can understand, and a treatment plan built for your body and your goals rather than a generic protocol.
Electrical Stimulation
Controlled electrical current used to reduce pain or to help a muscle contract when injury or surgery has made it difficult to activate.
Telehealth
Secure video physical therapy sessions for evaluation, exercise progression and follow-up when getting to the clinic is difficult.
Therapeutic Massage Therapy
Clinical soft tissue work used to reduce pain, ease muscle guarding and prepare the body for the active parts of your treatment plan.
