What is the difference between physical therapy services previously received, and Work Hardening services?
Work Hardening is a program designed to address your specific return to work needs. In individual therapy, you may have received one-on-one treatment directed to the area of injury. This has been effective in addressing your needs related to your injury, but may not have been enough to prepare you for your job demands at work. Work Hardening bridges the gap between initial acute injury management and return to work. We use a team approach to treatment and you may work with an occupational therapist, physical therapist, vocational counselor/case manager and psychologist. This comprehensive program has three major components: 1) Job Simulation – activities used to recreate the physical demands of your tasks at work; 2) Fitness/Conditioning – combination of a fitness/aerobic equipment routine and individual exercises to improve your overall conditioning and endurance for work; and 3) Education – to help you understand your injury, the risk factors that contributed to your injury and ways
