Work Injury Rehabilitation
Getting hurt workers back to work — with the documentation employers, carriers, and doctors all need.
What it is
Work injury rehabilitation treats job-related musculoskeletal injuries with a specific destination: your actual job demands. Treatment, progress measures, and discharge criteria are built around the lifting, standing, reaching, and endurance your position requires.
Workers' compensation cases also run on paperwork. We document objectively, communicate with the treating physician and carrier, and track restrictions against real measured capacity — so return-to-work decisions rest on data.
Who it helps
- Lifting and material-handling injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Falls and acute workplace trauma
- Post-surgical recovery from work injuries
- Deconditioning during time off work
Injured workers with an open workers' compensation claim, and employees whose job-related pain hasn't yet become a claim. Early care shortens cases — for everyone involved.
How we assess
Standard objective evaluation plus a job-demands profile: what your position requires physically, where your measured capacity stands against it, and the gap the plan must close.
What treatment looks like
Progressive restoration of work-relevant capacity — strength, positional tolerance, material handling — with milestone documentation written for the realities of a comp claim. We coordinate restrictions and progress with your treating physician.
Evidence & limitations
Early, active rehabilitation with a return-to-work focus is consistently associated with shorter disability duration than passive care or rest. Limitations: outcomes depend on factors beyond the clinic too — claim dynamics, job availability, injury severity — and we document honestly rather than optimistically.
Questions, answered
Who pays for treatment?
Authorized care for an accepted Michigan workers' compensation claim is paid by the employer's carrier with no cost-sharing to you. Authorization comes in treatment blocks; our desk manages it.
Can I choose my own physical therapy clinic?
In Michigan you may choose your own treating providers 28 days after your injury; before that, the employer directs care. We can help you understand where your case stands.
What if I can't return to my old job?
Our documentation gives your physician and case manager the objective capacity data those harder decisions require. Functional capacity evaluations, where needed, are part of our planned occupational services lineup.
