Workplace Injury Physiotherapy and Work Conditioning Program

Returning to Work After a Work-Related Injury

Patients recovering from work-related injuries may meet the treatment goals of workplace injury physiotherapy but still be unable to return to work due to deconditioning (being out of shape).

Work Conditioning Programs

Work conditioning programs, a type of return to work program, often simulate the demands of a specific job and are designed to help patients:

• Recover their strength
• Improve endurance
• Increase flexibility and mobility
• Improve cardiorespiratory fitness
• Reduce the risk of another workplace injury upon returning to work through personalized interventions

Personalized, Full-Body Training

These programs typically involve intensive, personalized full-body training based on the physical demands of a particular job.
