Rehabilitation Services
When
a work-related injury occurs, getting that employee back to full
duty in a safe and timely manner is a priority for most businesses.
Whether it's a repetitive motion injury or a post-surgical case,
having a therapist with occupational injury/illness experience and
excellent communication skills can make the difference between a
long recovery and a quick return-to-work.
That's where we come in. Mercy Business Health Services offers
convenient occupational and physical therapy at our 3500 Singing
Hills Boulevard location. Our therapists work with the treating
physician and your company to get the employee back to work.
Our rehabilitation services include:
- Education for the patient on his/her
injury or illness so the patient can take charge of his/her recovery
process.
- Use of common treatment modalities,
along with therapeutic activities.
- An emphasis on an 'active' vs.
'passive' rehabilitation process that includes home activities
to enhance the transition back to regular duty.
- Splinting to protect, position,
strengthen and/or increase function.
- Functional capacity evaluation.
- Post-offer screenings that include
back screenings, preventive exercise instruction and review of
safe body mechanics.
- Preventive education through ergonomic
job hazard analysis, postural analysis and exercise programs.
