Working Conditions

Restoring range of motion, increasing strength, and relieving pain may not be enough, in some cases, to return an injured worker back to the job. There are circumstances, such as when the individual has been off work for an extended period of time, in which a re-acclimation or re-conditioning period is needed to return the person to work safely. In cases such as these, Indiana Physical Therapy offers a work conditioning program.

By establishing measurable, object goals, IPT is able to progress the individual effectively by taking into account the specific demands of their job. The sessions typically last 90-120 minutes, on average of 2-3 days per week of 3-4 weeks. or as directed by the referring physician or case manager. Along with the treatment progression, documentation of progress is provided to the referring physician and case manager on a weekly basis and even more frequently upon request.
