Effective treatment for work injuries
Work-related injuries can be devastating to the injured worker and his or her family. That’s why the skilled and highly trained physical therapist, Kelly King, DPT, at King Physical Therapy developed a comprehensive Workers’ Compensation work injury treatment program.
Occupational injury rehabilitation
For patients who have been injured on the job, we implement manual techniques, exercise and modalities to speed return to work. Our physical therapist assesses work duties and provides exercises that simulate workplace requirements.
Functional capacity evaluation
The functional capacity evaluation (FCE) is an extensive evaluation that analyzes your ability to perform tasks such as lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, stooping, squatting, kneeling, ladder and stair climbing, overhead reaching, crawling and bending activities. We provide detailed results to your physician and case manager. Your physician will use your FCE to determine if you are ready to return to work and any restrictions.
Work fitness screening
This is an objective, post-offer screen for workers entering physically demanding jobs to:
- Identify pre-existing conditions for work injury claims
- Assess functional abilities and job compatibility
- Teach proper lifting mechanics or preventive exercise
Work conditioning program
This individualized program focuses on helping injured workers regain optimal function and return to work through physical conditioning and job simulation tasks.
