Claims for back, neck and upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) represent 65% of the estimated $142 billion employers spend yearly in workers compensation costs. However, by reducing the number of claims and claim severity, reducing claim cost and longevity, we cut workers comp costs, on average, by 50 to 75%.

Our services are customized to the employers’ specific goals and include:

On-Site Rehabilitation: Complete therapeutic and educational sessions conducted at your place of business.

Work Conditioning/Hardening Program: Replicating the workers’ jobsite using real or simulated actions to restore physical, behavioral and vocational functions.

First Aid Intervention Program: Educating and training employees in techniques and procedures to implement immediately following an injury.

Functional Capacity Evaluation: A standardized test designed to comprehensively measure an injured individual’s physical abilities.

ADA Compliant Post Offer Screen: Ensures an applicant can perform the minimum demands of a potential job under guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Ergonomics Analysis: A complete analysis of the behaviors and conditions that may lead to work related musculoskeletal disorders in the future.

Job Demand Analysis: Using a structured scoring system, an evaluator defines job demands according to US Department of Labor terminology.

After implementing our ADA compliant, post-offering testing program at a large nursing home, the facility saw more than a 50% reduction in their workers compensation costs.

An automotive parts manufacturer implemented our onsite physical therapy program in 2004. By 2006 they saw their OSHA recordable injury rate decrease from 5.2 to 1.9 and their lost-time rate decrease from 2.7 to 0.55. In 2006, 145 employees sought care at the onsite clinic; of these employees, only 2 required medical care beyond the first-aid provided by our physical therapist. Total lost-time costs dropped from $490,000 to $150,000 the following year.

A computer cable manufacturer implemented our onsite program and experienced a reduction in their cost per case for workers compensation claims by over 50%.
