Physical
and Occupational Therapy:

Here
at Advanced Work Rehab, we are committed to getting the injured employee back
to work as quickly as possible. We have physical therapists who specialize in
treating work injuries. After a thorough assessment, our therapist will design
an individualized treatment program catering to the injured worker’s injury and
job requirements. During the treatment, the injured worker will also be
educated on techniques to prevent re-injury and will be taught task and
behavior modification, if needed. Early and proper intervention through proper
and targeted physical therapy and hand therapy is the key to minimizing lost
work time. Our FCE is a thorough, standardized and consistent test based on a
set of medically researched procedures designed to identify the worker’s
abilities, define limitations, and determine validity of effort. Performed by a
licensed therapist, this evaluation is very useful to referring physicians,
case managers and adjusters as the standard in facilitating case closure or
determining the type of suitable rehab program.

Work
Simulation

Advanced
Work Rehab Center offers Work Simulation tasks for the injured worker who, due
to lack of strength, range of motion, endurance, or other deificts, cannot
perform or fulfil their job demands. The simulated work activities resemble the
injured workers real and actual job tasks and help to restore their
productivity, physical tolerance, and vocational and behavioral function. A
gradual progression is made in the frequency, load and duration of simulated
tasks to mimic a typical work day. Work Simulation tasks developed by us
enhance a worker’s strength, physical conditioning, tolerance, and ability to
manage work stress which will result in increased productivity. In addition to
the Work Simulation, we educate the worker on proper body mechanics and injury
prevention techniques to prevent future injury.
