Rehabilitation Q & A

What is rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, goal-oriented program designed to restore the skills, strength, and functional abilities you've lost due to injury, illness, or surgery. It's a structured process that helps you regain independence and return to the activities that matter most in your life.

Key components of our rehabilitation programs include:

Customized therapeutic exercise programs
Targeted physical therapy interventions
Job- or sport-specific functional training
Progressive strength and mobility training
Individualized goal setting and achievement

Every rehabilitation program at startPTNow is uniquely tailored to meet individual goals and needs. While some patients require intensive functional rehabilitation to return to competitive sports, others may focus on regaining basic abilities like safely navigating stairs or performing household tasks.

What is industrial rehabilitation?

Industrial rehabilitation is a specialized program designed specifically for workers who have sustained job-related injuries or need to meet the physical demands of their profession. The team at startPTNow excels in creating targeted rehabilitation plans for physically demanding occupations.

Our industrial rehabilitation services are ideal for:

Safety & Emergency Professionals

  • Police, fire, and rescue personnel
  • Emergency medical technicians
  • Security and safety officers
  • First responders of all types

Transportation & Delivery

  • Delivery drivers and couriers
  • Commercial truck drivers
  • Mail carriers and postal workers
  • Logistics and warehouse staff

Construction & Labor

  • Construction workers and tradespeople
  • Manufacturing and factory employees
  • Landscaping and maintenance workers
  • All physically demanding occupations

Our industrial rehabilitation program is built on three essential pillars that ensure comprehensive recovery and successful return to work.

What are the three pillars of industrial rehabilitation?

Our industrial rehabilitation program follows a structured three-pillar approach that ensures thorough assessment, effective treatment, and successful return to work outcomes.

Functional Capacity Evaluation: Comprehensive assessment beginning with detailed medical history review and current injury analysis. Your therapist conducts a series of functional tests measuring physical abilities and compares them directly with your job's physical demands. This evaluation guides your rehabilitation plan and provides essential documentation for workers' compensation claims, employers, attorneys, case managers, and insurance companies.
Pain Management: Targeted identification and treatment of pain sources that limit functional abilities and interfere with rehabilitation progress. Your therapist provides the most appropriate interventions to alleviate symptoms and facilitate recovery.
Work Conditioning/Hardening: Complementary approaches that restore function and accelerate return to work. Work conditioning focuses on rebuilding strength, endurance, movement, flexibility, motor control, and cardiopulmonary function. Work hardening involves real or simulated work activities designed to restore the physical, behavioral, and vocational skills specific to your job requirements.

This comprehensive approach ensures you receive the specific interventions needed to overcome your injury and return to work safely and efficiently.

Does rehabilitation include strength training?

Strength training is a fundamental component of all rehabilitation programs at startPTNow. Regardless of your previous fitness level, injuries, accidents, or health conditions inevitably lead to muscle loss and strength reduction when activity levels decrease.

Our strength training approach includes:

Individualized Programming

  • Starting at your current ability level
  • Structured, progressive exercise plans
  • Gradual intensity increases
  • Safe technique instruction
  • Regular progress assessments

Comprehensive Benefits

  • Significant pain reduction
  • Accelerated recovery timeline
  • Improved functional capacity
  • Enhanced joint stability
  • Injury prevention and protection

Functional Application

  • Job-specific strength requirements
  • Sport-specific power development
  • Daily activity muscle preparation
  • Endurance and stamina building
  • Movement pattern optimization

Rebuilding muscle strength not only reduces pain but significantly accelerates your return to normal activities. Our physical therapists carefully design strength training programs that begin where you are and progressively challenge you to rebuild muscle mass, restore strength, and regain the physical capabilities you need for your specific lifestyle and occupational demands.
