When Can I
Get Back To Work?
We hear this question on a daily basis. Patients
are anxious to return to their pre-injury status,
whether in sports, recreational activities or simply
going back to work.
Many times this complicated question is directed
to a physician during a short visit. The physician
is then faced with a complicated challenge if
he has not seen the patient recently or if he
does not have the time or equipment to determine
any restrictions the patient may have. We at RPT
are qualified to answer this question.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
We are equipped to perform comprehensive Functional
Capacity Evaluations (FCE). The FCE is commonly
used to assist in establishing impairment ratings,
as well as safe return-to-work parameters for
injured workers. At RPT, we have a team of physical
therapists who have been trained through an internationally
acclaimed program to provide pre-work screening
services and FCEs.
We have provided care for patients with orthopedic
and industrial-related injuries for many years.
During the course of therapy, our patients are re-evaluated
on a regular basis. Appropriate levels of exercise,
work-related and functional activities are introduced
to simulate the critical demands unique to each
patient's lifestyle.
Currently we are involved in outsourcing services
to businesses in our community, including the trucking
and food service distribution industries.
We will accommodate your schedule, our pricing
is competitive and we accept most insurance plans
including Worker's Comp.
