Employees who experience lost-time, limited duty, or symptoms in response to job tasks may benefit from work hardening physical therapy services. Rendered in various phases of the injury healing process, physical therapy helps the injured employee return to safe and productive work.
The purpose of Work Conditioning and Work Hardening, as well as a combination of the two, is to help progress an injured employee’s tolerance of job or occupation-specific physical stresses. Treatment should emphasize restoration of work-related function and reconditioning.

Everyone there was always so nice and everyone seemed like they really cared about how you are progressing while you are there. They make sure you understand the exercises that you are supposed to be doing and they make sure you are doing them right and will correct you if you are not, that shows they care. I would recommend them to everyone.
