Physical and occupational therapy
Pre-employment assessments
Determine whether the individual can do the essential and/or high-risk tasks before job placement. Our therapists tailor the assessment and provide education to correct potential problems.
Injury prevention in the workplace
Our physical and occupational therapists specialize in work injury management and go to the worksite to assess the job and your employee. We offer two types of job site evaluations:
Work risk assessment
- Evaluate work activities, sequence of tasks, machines, tools and physical demands
- Recommend tools, job modifications, workstation setup
- Identify physical stressors and solutions to prevent or reduce injury
Job demand analysis
A thorough evaluation of the physical demands, shifts and workplace to inform:
- Essential functions and job descriptions
- Transitional duties for injured/restricted workers
- Job simulations for return-to-work program
- Potential for rotation programs
To provide the most reliable and valuable assessment of functional performance, we use the Physical Work Performance Evaluation by ErgoScience, which includes more than 30 research-based tactics to determine capacity to perform various job tasks. Results are compared with the job demands.
