Our Return-to-Work Process

1. Initial Assessment & Diagnosis

We perform a comprehensive evaluation of your injury, movement patterns, and work requirements to establish a clear diagnosis.

2. Personalized Recovery Plan

We develop a tailored program including hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, and rehabilitation exercises to reduce pain and restore function.

3. Work Conditioning

As you progress, we focus on “work conditioning”—specific exercises designed to mimic your job tasks (e.g., lifting, reaching, or prolonged sitting) to prepare your body for the workplace.

4. Ergonomic & Prevention Advice

We provide education on posture and manual handling to prevent re-injury once you are back on the job.

Do I need a referral?
