| Industrial
Rehabilitation
Whether you are a physician with
a workinjured
patient, an employer who needs to
provide a safer, yet more productive work
environment, or an insurance specialist
looking to reduce claims, our goals for the
working patient include:
• alleviating pain
• injury-specific education to prevent reinjury
• increased flexibility and range of motion
• increased strength
• improved function
In addition to having a reputation for excellence and a
broad base of experience treating work-related injuries,
our industrial rehab program benefits the patient and their
employer in a multitude of ways:
Functional capacity evaluations – How badly
is the
patient injured? What limits need to be placed on their
return to work? We use objective computerized tests and
our evaluation results are backed by the National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health.
Ergonomic assessments/job task analysis – We can
measure the specific physical components of a job and
determine the safest, most efficient way to do it to help
people avoid injury or reinjury.
POET's Post Offer Employment Testing –
How do we return an injured worker to their usual
and customary position, if they were physically
unable to perform the physical demands of the job?
A POET is a tool used to test a worker's physical
abilities to the specific physical demands of a job.
POETs are performed after a conditional job offer
is made, but before starting work. They can screen
out candidates who cannot perform the physical
job demands, reduce work related injuries and gather
baseline data in motion, strength and functional
status. The results are cost savings by:
injury prevention, post-injury baselines and apportionment.
Let KH Physical Therapy Works bring it all to your patient.
At KH Physical Therapy Works, the occupational health
program was designed to treat all kinds of occupational
injuries, reduce or eliminate pain and return individuals
to work. We partner with employers to protect
employees’ health as well as the interests of your
company.
It’s all provided with one purpose in mind — helping
you
maximize the health of your company… and your
employees.
Why Settle for less?
Here at KH Physical Therapy Works, our goal is to help
people look, feel and perform their best. We want every
patient to move without pain, and we want them to get
stronger so they can avoid future problems or reinjury.
Our mission is to help the patient return to work and all
their prior activities of daily living without pain. Basically,
we just want them to get back to living. Let our
dedicated professionals help your patient reach their
goals safely, effectively and quickly.
