Our interdisciplinary team approach includes the worker, physician, case manager, physical therapist, occupational therapist, employer, and family members.

The Worker's Rehabilitation Program offers:

• Physical and/or Occupational Therapy services for the acutely injured employee, focusing on strength, flexibility, mobility, coordination, and work-related functions.
• Individualized Work Conditioning and/or Work Hardening services consisting of physical rehabilitation, work simulation, and body-mechanics education, in order to maximize functional capabilities and prepare the worker to resume specific job tasks.
• Aquatic Therapy focuses on improving flexibility, strength, endurance, cardiovascular condition, and functional mobility. Aquatic Therapy is often done in conjunction with a land-based program.
• Ergonomic and Job Analysis services to prevent future injuries and return the employee to his/her former workplace. RHRI therapists will assess the physical relationship of the equipment to the employee, identify risk factors, and recommend possible solutions or modifications.
• Comprehensive Assessment of functional work-related capabilities to use as a baseline for treatment or to determine return-to-work guidelines. The results of a Work Capacity Evaluation can predict an employee's ability to safely perform job-specific activities.
