Online SchedulingOur Physical Therapy North team is skilled in the evaluation and treatment of work-related acute and chronic orthopedic injuries and conditions. Our therapists have received training through Blankenship, Isernhagen, Matheson, and WorkSaver Systems and recognize the importance of returning to work as quickly and safely as possible while reducing the risk of new and repeat injuries. As a result, we built an Industrial Rehabilitation Program.
Work Evaluation Services
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
This is a comprehensive evaluation that measures an individual’s feasibility for work within a specific job, occupational classification, or physical demand level. It can be used to identify modified work capabilities, suggest the need for additional therapy services, and/or to assist physicians in determining return to work restrictions.
Pre-Employment Testing
This is a physical abilities assessment using a protocol based on the essential functions of a specific job or occupational classification. The post-offer screening test will assess the ability of a prospective or existing employee to perform the essential job functions. The assessment is beneficial in establishing a baseline to which comparisons can be made following any future work-related injury.
