Our physical and occupational therapists can provide a Post-Offer Physical Capacity Screen to assess the abilities of an employee or potential employee to perform in the workplace. This test may be customized to specific job descriptions as directed by the employer and provides detailed physical information specific to the job tasks the employee must perform. This can be a valuable tool to assist the employer in determining the level of work activity an employee can achieve.

Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is used by physicians, case managers, and employers to transition injured workers back to function in the workplace. FCE is the single most reliable measure to determine the level of work activity an injured or disabled worker can achieve. It is inherently a thorough and accurate evaluation process that documents an individual's residual physical abilities, level of effort expended during testing, reliability of reports of pain and limitation, and it is an overall gauge of feasibility for employment.

We will work with employers to design a screening and testing program suited to the needs of your company. Annual physicals, pulmonary and audiometric testing, DOT physicals and random drug and alcohol screenings are available.

In the event of a work injury, our physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists are committed to providing the highest quality of care with compassion and a focus on healing. We make it a priority to provide health care programs that are suited to the individual needs of the patient to relieve pain and provide strengthening and conditioning for a speedy recovery.

This program allows a discharged patient to continue on a maintenance exercise program that is individualized to his or her needs following treatment. This is a self-pay program and the patient is welcome to attend as often as desired or suggested by the physical therapist.

For medical-legal cases, we can evaluate impairment based on the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment and provide a complete impairment report using our AMA-licensed software from J-Tech Medical. As the employer, you will receive a copy of the test result for each employee that completes testing at our facility. We maintain open communications and complete reports in a concise and timely manner.
