Work Injury

Physical therapy can be an important part of the treatment and rehabilitation process for individuals with work-related injuries. Physical therapists can help patients regain strength, mobility, and function, and may use a variety of techniques including exercise, manual therapy, and modalities such as heat or ice to help reduce pain and swelling. They may also provide guidance on how to modify activities of daily living to reduce stress on the affected area and prevent further injuries. The goal of physical therapy for work-related injuries is to help patients recover as much function and independence as possible, and to prevent future injuries.
