Back to Work. . . Back to Life

Our work rehabilitation programs are designed to enable the patient to return to work in as rapid a time as possible. Work Capacity Evaluations and Work Tolerance Screening provide the therapist and physician or vocational counselor with necessary information relating to an individual's capabilities, aptitudes, interests, and work habits to assist in determining appropriate vocational direction and readiness to return to work. Work Hardening, one of Ergo's more progressive services, is an individualized physical reconditioning program that allows the patient to be involved in work-related activities as soon as possible after their injury, thus avoiding long periods of inactivity and the typical decline of physical and motivational status.

Unique to Ergo-Rehab is the performance of Ergonomic Analysis. Upon request and at the completion of the treatment program, the therapist will visit the patient's work place and monitor his/her activity. In this way, Ergo-Rehab can ensure that proper work requirements are being met, and modifications, if any, can be immediately made to avoid re-injury.

Early Stage and Acute Patients

Ergo therapists, combining their knowledge of treatment options with a thorough understanding of anatomy, have the full capability to begin working with a patient as early post-op as possible. Treatment has been started with some patients as soon as one to three days after surgery. Rehabilitation is generally more effective when started early, thereby eliminating post-op complications and formation of bad habits. Shorter rehabilitation times generally mean reduced treatment costs.

Physician Support & Involvement

The Ergo-Rehab treatment programs, though somewhat exacting in their requirements, allow for any desired level of physician involvement and direction. Initial patient evaluation and reporting to the physician is regular throughout treatment. Using a team approach with the supervising physician, re-injury is prevented through rehabilitation re-education and work and home modifications.
