Physical Reconditioning
A "work conditioning" program is available and
effective in helping clients build up enough flexibility, strength,
and endurance in order to tolerate a full work schedule. Clients
in this program often have experienced an extended period of
time away from work due to chronic pain, generally from an injury
on the job.
Emphasis in on simulating job tasks, and establishing
a routine "work day" with regular "work" hours.
Thousands of dollars in compensation claims can
be saved through physical therapy. This can be realized through
instruction in correct body mechanics, which is the training
of workers in movements and stressful positions that cause injury.
