Worker & Industry Rehabilitation
At LHMPTI, we understand the physical and emotional toll that work-related injuries can inflict. Whether you’ve experienced an injury due to a repetitive motion, a fall, or an accident in the workplace, we’re here to provide you with exceptional rehabilitation services to help you recover, regain function, and return to work safely.
Worker injury rehabilitation focuses on the evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries sustained in the workplace. Work-related injuries can vary widely, from musculoskeletal conditions resulting from repetitive motions or lifting heavy objects to sprains, strains, fractures, or even traumatic injuries.
Your worker injury rehabilitation sessions with our skilled physical therapists may include a combination of the following approaches:
Pain management techniques: Our therapists will employ various modalities, such as heat or cold therapy, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound, to help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in the affected area.
Manual therapy: We may use hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, or massage, to improve joint range of motion, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.
Therapeutic exercises: We'll guide you through specific exercises to strengthen weakened muscles, improve flexibility, and restore functional movement patterns. These exercises will be tailored to your individual needs and gradually progress as you recover.
Work-specific functional training: If your injury is related to specific job tasks or movements, we'll incorporate functional training exercises that simulate those activities to help you regain confidence and improve your ability to perform your job duties.
Ergonomic education and modifications: We'll provide you with guidance on proper body mechanics, posture, and ergonomics in the workplace to prevent further injuries and promote a healthier work environment.
Graduated return-to-work program: If necessary, we'll develop a structured plan to gradually reintroduce you to work tasks, ensuring a safe and successful transition back to your job responsibilities.
Education on injury prevention and self-care: We'll provide you with valuable information on injury prevention strategies, self-care techniques, and lifestyle modifications to support your long-term well-being and minimize the risk of future injuries. In addition to individualized rehabilitation, we also offer Work Conditioning Programs at all of our clinics. These intensive, goal-oriented programs are designed to bridge the gap between outpatient therapy and a full return to work. Work conditioning focuses on improving physical stamina, strength, flexibility, and endurance specific to your job’s demands. These programs simulate work tasks and build the functional capacity necessary for a safe, confident return to the workplace—especially after extended time away or following more complex injuries.
For patients and employers needing objective information about an individual’s ability to safely meet the demands of a job, we offer Functional Capacity Exams (FCEs) at select clinic locations. FCEs are comprehensive assessments that measure strength, flexibility, endurance, and functional abilities related to specific work tasks. These evaluations are often used to guide return-to-work decisions, determine disability status, or develop accommodations to support job performance.
The benefits of worker injury rehabilitation are significant:
Pain reduction: Our therapy interventions can help alleviate pain and discomfort resulting from work-related injuries, allowing you to regain comfort and mobility.
Restored function and mobility: By addressing the underlying causes of your injuriy and providing targeted rehabilitation, we aim to restore your ability to perform work tasks, improve range of motion, and enhance overall functionality.
Improved strength and flexibility: Our therapeutic exercises and interventions can help strengthen weakened muscles, improve flexibility, and promote better movement patterns, enabling you to perform work duties with less strain.
Faster recovery and safe return to work: With the guidance of our experienced therapists, you'll benefit from a structured rehabilitation program that promotes a faster and more efficient recovery process, helping you return to work safely and confidently.
Injury prevention: Through education and self-care strategies, we'll empower you to make informed decisions and adopt habits that minimize the risk of future work-related injuries. At LHMPTI, we’re committed to providing exceptional worker injury rehabilitation services. Our experienced team of physical therapists will work closely with you, providing personalized care, empathy, and support. Call us today and get back to work.
