Industrial Rehab

“HELPING PE0PLE GAIN FUNCTIONAL INDEPENDENCE”

As the name implies, Rehab in Motion specializes on delivering rehabilitation therapy services on site. We understand the unique challenges a company has with employees’ accidents and injuries.

	We believe a company work force is the most valuable asset.
	All companies regardless of size should have a company doctor.
	A company should have an industrial trained nurse regardless of whether they have a safety officer or not.
	A company should have specialist at their deposal that could treat and rehabilitate an injured employee.

The fact is that most companies don’t have injury prevention programs, and when confronted with an accident or work related injury they may not understand the ramification of the medical/legal consequences, they have encountered. Usually the company human resource tries to accommodate and ultimately finds themselves in a predicament; How to address the accident? Do they examine the work site for possible modification? Do they place returning employees at risk of reinjury?

Rehab in Motion’s products and services address all of these questions. We are a full rehabilitation facility with Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, Speech Therapist, and a Respiratory Care Practitioner. All therapists are licensed and board certified.

Comparison to Traditional Rehabilitation

Traditional Approach

Rehab on Site

Offsite

Actual Worksite

Milieu "sick/illness" medical setting

Real work environment, peer and supervisory support.

Simulated work tasks

Real work with own machinery/equipment.

Disability legitimatized

Work identity of the employee maintained.

Medical personnel predominant

Employee-Employer participation and control.

Inadequate knowledge of the job and working conditions

Actual job observed by therapist.
Better communication.
Clinically supervised task progression.
More accurate functional assessments.

Cost removed from site

Cost at site results in more accountability and control

We go directly to the job site and do a work site analysis for every worker injury case.

We make recommendations, if appropriate, on employee’s posture, work site modifications, and /or any other area that we feel will reduce and minimize injuries.

We have the ability to work closely with industries and are able to monitor restrictions and/or light duty.

We provide therapy “on site” to reduce costs and to enhance communications.

We can also do work site analyses on demand, work capacity evaluations (WCE), education seminars for both management and employees.

What does Rehab in Motion offers industries:
No need to guess what employees are capable of doing on light or restricted duties. (decrease liability)
Reduce and minimize work injuries.
Decrease time off from work. (Therapy is usually done onsite.)
