Your treatment plan will vary depending on your specific needs, and the exercises and practiced movements in your plan will be job specific. However, there are some general components present in work conditioning programs across the board. These components may include:
- 2-4 hour progressive program attended 3-5 days per week
- Licensed OT/PT supervision
- Emphasis on job simulation tasks for specific job return
- Emphasis on injury prevention and the teaching of correct body mechanics/safe movement patterns
- Exercise programming tailored toward improving flexibility, strength, and endurance necessary for a successful return to work
- Home exercise program to ensure long term success
- Comprehensive patient education on pacing, stress management, back care, and injury prevention.
The ultimate goal of our work conditioning rehabilitation is to prepare you to return to full or modified duty at work.
