We also take the time to address any additional contributing factors. We know that injuries do not happen in isolation. The whole body and person must be assessed for a safe and effective return to work.
Many of our Therapists have worked onsite and have been through our Job Site Analysis training. They know how physical your job can be and understand the demands of your work.
Physical therapy and/or occupational therapy evaluation for work-related injuries can be performed at your company (in select cases) or our clinic.
If the injury is work-related, our treatments will be guided by the physical demands obtained during the Job Site Analysis process to make sure our plan aligns with your job.

Functional Capacity Evaluation
To Identify your maximum capacity through a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE).
This 4-8 hour evaluation uses a series of tests to identify a person’s physical skills, functional capacity, task endurance, and work tolerance.
The test is administered by a physical therapist or occupational therapist specifically trained to evaluate and observe the employee's effort during this test.
Specific work tasks may be simulated during the FCE to evaluate if the employee can return safely, assist with return-to-work restrictions, or determine if there is a need for accommodations.
