Just like an injured athlete needs rehabilitation to return to the field for their sport, the injured worker needs rehabilitation to return to their job. With industrial rehabilitation, it is important to not only address the impairments and pain the patient is experiencing but also to prepare the patient to return to work safely and with a decreased risk of future injury. At the Clifton Street location of Rehab Associates of Central Virginia we offer industrial rehabilitation with our primary goals including the following:
- Increasing flexibility and activity tolerance
- Increasing strength
- Improving function
- Improving safety of the workplace
