Work Conditioning

What is Work Conditioning?

Work Conditioning is a program designed to maximize work abilities by integrating education, aerobic exercise, stretching, strengthening and functional task training to optimize safe return to work.

When determining if a candidate is appropriate for work conditioning, we consider the following*:

  • RISK – is the patient at risk of re-injury or causing injury to co-workers?
  • CAPACITY – can the patient meet the minimum job requirements?
  • TOLERANCE – what is the patient’s ability to perform tasks given their subjective complaints & pain level?

 

* AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Work Ability and Return to Work
