Why Employers Call Us

Your MSK costs are not an accident. They are a process.

Soft tissue injuries almost never start as injuries. They start as a movement pattern, a tool that does not fit the task, a new hire nobody taught, a shift that stopped stretching. By the time it reaches your log, you are paying for it twice: once in the claim, and again in the days you cannot staff.

DPT On-Site puts a licensed physical therapist where the work actually happens. We address issues at the first report of discomfort, teach mechanics against the real job, and build prevention into the shift instead of the benefits binder.

“Highest-quality people providing the highest, the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”

Aaron Kraai, PT, DPT · Founder and CEO, Doctors of Physical Therapy

Clinician-led, not a staffing vendor

Every operational role at DPT, CEO to clinic director, is a licensed physical therapist. Clinical decisions are made by clinicians, not by a service desk.

Proactive, not reactive

We are not waiting for a claim to open. Early intervention, OSHA compliant first aid triage, and job-specific training run every day you are in production.

Built around your floor

Every program is designed for your environment, your job demands, and your workforce. No two facilities are the same, so no two programs are either.

One number in your budget

A guaranteed, capitated cost model. One fee per year, paid monthly. You never have to decide which piece of the program fits this quarter.

Customized On-Site Programs

What we do inside your facility.

Four working parts, delivered on your floor, on your shifts, against your actual job tasks.

Job-Specific Assessment

  • Ergonomic assessments and root cause analysis, including REBA, RULA, and NIOSH Lifting
  • We evaluate how the work is actually performed, including movement patterns and the tools in use
  • We identify physical demands, risk factors, and stresses on muscles and tendons
  • Adjustments that minimize risk and maximize efficiency

Functional Rehab and Prevention

  • On-site physical therapy available as part of the program
  • OSHA compliant injury screening and first aid triage
  • We address issues early, before they become recordable injuries
  • Job rotation program development

Targeted Training. Practical Education.

  • Education on body mechanics, movement, and safe work habits, focused on the specifics of the job
  • Training tailored to the movement patterns and tools of each task
  • Train the trainer through an MSK lens
  • Participation in your EHS committees

Strength and Mobility

  • Stretching and strengthening designed specifically for job tasks
  • Education on dynamic vs. static vs. reverse vs. time-out stretching, designed by division or job type
  • Development of a functional stretching routine
  • Long-term behavioral change that aligns safety, health, and performance

Benefits of Our Service Model

Our guaranteed cost model vs. fee-for-service.

Most on-site vendors bill you per service, which means the safest year and the most expensive year are the same year. Ours does not work that way.

Everything included

Prevention, new hire orientation, ergonomic assessments, MSK first-aid triage, stretching, job rotation, EH&S participation, and custom programs by department and job.

One fee per year

Paid monthly, including the cost of therapy for programs that choose to include it. You never have to pick which component fits the budget.

Coverage that scales

From 10 hours a week up to 40. Targeted support for a single high-risk department, or a full-time presence across the plant.

Shift flexibility

Running multiple shifts? Depending on the hours we are on-site, your therapist flexes the schedule to reach all of them, not just first shift.

How a Partnership Starts

Four steps from first call to therapist on your floor.

1

Schedule a call

Twenty minutes with a DPT point person. Your injury history, your job types, your shifts. No pitch deck required.

2

We walk your floor

An on-site assessment of the real work. We look at tasks, tools, and the demands that are quietly driving your claims.

3

We build your program

A written program by department and by job, with the coverage hours, the training plan, and one guaranteed annual cost.

4

Your therapist starts

A licensed physical therapist on your floor, in your EHS meetings, and measured against the numbers you care about.

Built for Results from Day One

Set the stage for new hires.

A new hire’s first week decides how they will move for the next ten years. We run orientation through a musculoskeletal lens so the habits start right instead of getting corrected after the first claim.

  • Basic injury prevention taught through an MSK lens
  • Proper lifting, and why arching the back is a problem
  • How to protect the shoulder during overhead tasks
  • Lifting a heel when pivoting, and how to use the hip joint properly
  • Faulty body mechanics and how to correct them
  • Full-body stretches, why they matter, and when to use ice or heat

Questions Employers Ask

Before you schedule the call.

What size facility does this make sense for?

If you have physical work and an MSK claim history, it is worth a conversation. Programs run from 10 hours a week up to full-time coverage, so a single high-risk department is as workable as a whole plant. The call is how we find out which one you are.

A consultant hands you a report. We put a licensed physical therapist in the building. The assessment is the starting point, not the deliverable. After it, the same clinician is on your floor training, triaging, and adjusting the program as the work changes.

No. We work alongside them. Our job is to reduce what reaches them, through early intervention and OSHA compliant first aid triage before an issue becomes a recordable.

One guaranteed annual fee, paid monthly, priced against the coverage hours your facility needs. Every program component is included at that number, including the cost of therapy for programs that choose to include it. There are no per-visit charges to approve.

Your therapist flexes the schedule to reach every shift, with the specific rotation set by how many hours we are on-site. Second and third shift are not an afterthought, they are usually where the risk is.

A licensed physical therapist employed by Doctors of Physical Therapy. We are clinician-led at every level of the company, and we are not a staffing agency placing a contractor in your building.

New hire orientation and first aid triage start on day one. Ergonomic findings and the department-level program follow the on-site assessment. We report against the measures your EHS team already tracks, so you are not waiting on a year-end summary to know whether it is working.

Take the Next Step

See if your facility is a fit.

One call with a DPT point person. We will ask about your job types, your shifts, and what your MSK claims have been doing. If we are a fit, we will schedule the on-site assessment. If we are not, we will tell you that too.

  • About 20 minutes, no presentation
  • You talk to a person, not a call center
  • A straight answer on cost and coverage hours
