Therapy and Rehabilitation

 

Our therapy and rehabilitation programs work to maintain close communication between employees, physicians, and insurance companies to ensure quality service and a timely return to work for the injured person. Services include:

  • Workstart, one of Southern California’s most comprehensive work re-entry programs, uses objective measure to assess and rehabilitate individuals with injuries or disabilities that have prevented their return to work
  • Work Hardening, a program of gradually progressive, job-related activities intended to return the injured worker to a prior level of functioning
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation services, including pain management, exercise, and education to avoid re-injury
  • Post-Hire Back Screen, an objective, non-discriminatory evaluation used to screen workers before they begin a job by assessing their flexibility, strength and back stability
  • Back School, an instructional program designed to educate workers regarding body mechanics and re-injury prevention
  • Hand Rehabilitation - Upper extremity injuries account for approximately one-third of the work-related injuries that occur each year. Our department is staffed by board-certified hand therapists with advanced specialty training to assist those recovering from upper extremity fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, and repetitive motion injuries.
