Occupational Rehabilitation Services are comprehensive, interdisciplinary, clinic-based return to function programs designed to assist injured workers back to work safely.  The program involves an interdisciplinary assessment, physical strengthening, restoration of functional ability and facilitation of graduated and full return to work.  Education, medical and psychological support and a variety of Return to Work Services round out the program.

Ergonomic Rehabilitation provides an educational approach to preventing injury at the workplace.  This program is designed to facilitate safe integration of workers within the workplace, relative to the equipment, materials and supplies used to perform their job.  At the workplace, the  therapist will focus on Identifying the Risks, Assessing the Risks and providing recommendations on Risk Control.

To assist workers in identifying risk factors and recognizing early symptoms and signs of potential injury, the therapist will provide Education and Training either one-to-one, or in group sessions.  Ergonomic programs create a safe working environment, reduce the risk of injury, increase productivity and enhance morale.
