An on-the-job injury affects more than your body, it affects your livelihood. We focus on getting you back to work safely, managing the full rehab process from injury to case closure.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What Is Work-Related Injury Rehab?

Work-related injury rehabilitation is physical therapy aimed at restoring the physical capacity you need for your specific job. It often includes functional capacity evaluation, work conditioning and work hardening, and job-specific rehabilitation, and research shows starting sooner is linked to a faster, more durable return to work.

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

Aaron Kraai, PT, DPT, Founder & CEO, Doctors of Physical Therapy
