The best time to address work-related strains, sprains and other injuries is before they occur. As
part of our Integrated Functional Fitness Program, HealthForce work injury and fitness specialists
provide direction and strategies to address potential risk factors before an employee’s discomfort
results in lost time or a disability claim. Incorporating key principles of physical therapy,
occupational therapy and ergonomics, we deliver our services where they are needed most at the
worksite.

Post-injury services
Our primary goal is always to prevent
work-related discomfort and injury. In the event of an incident, however, we offer
post-injury advice and support to prevent further injury and successfully transition the
injured employee back to work. Topics include:
|
» |
safe body mechanics and posture, |
» |
work pacing and task rotation, and |
» |
injury and re-injury prevention methods. |
Our work injury specialists address
unforeseen issues that arise once the employee returns to work. We help the employee take
concepts learned in a clinic setting and apply them to everyday tasks and situations at work.
If needed, we also consult regarding possible modification of work habits or the physical
environment to facilitate return to work.
|
|
Job coaching is most effective when performed at the worksite, where it has the most immediate, positive impact on worker safety and productivity.

HealthForce work injury and fitness experts provide customized advice and useful techniques to help employees work effectively and prevent injuries.
