On-Site Rehab Services
Many employers are recognizing the significant benefits associated with bringing occupational and physical therapy services on-site. Some of these benefits include:
- More comprehensive treatment. A functional job analysis along with specific guidelines for improving the work or the work site can complement the acute treatment of injuries.
- Timely and accurate return to work decisions. Return to work decisions are objectified by performing assessments based on functional job descriptions.
- Consistency. The same therapist that is treating a specific individual's work injury is also assisting with the transition back to regular work.
- Cost savings. The continuity of onsite services allows early intervention at the first report of symptoms.
