Work Related Injuries In Brooks

Reduce Pain & Inflammation

• Diverse Manual Therapy Techniques: We offer a range of manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilizations and massage. We aim to decrease pain, improve circulation, and promote healthy tissue healing. Additionally, we offer myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and other hands-on techniques tailored to your specific needs.
• Modalities for Targeted Relief: For targeted relief, we may also use modalities such as ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation, deep tissue heating, or TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) to manage pain signals and provide temporary relief.
• Combined Approach: We understand that everyone’s pain management needs are unique. Therefore, we often use a combined approach that includes manual therapy, modalities, and specific exercises. Our goal is to ensure that you experience optimal pain reduction and long-term management of your injury.

Restore Range of Motion

• Flexibility & Mobility: Our specialized exercises, stretches, and techniques enhance overall flexibility and make moving the affected area easier with reduced discomfort. 
• Activity-Specific Focus: We don’t limit ourselves to improving your general flexibility; instead, we personalize your treatment to restore the particular range of motion necessary for your day-to-day activities and work-related tasks.

Rebuild Strength & Endurance

• Progressive Exercise Program: We can design an exercise program that gradually increases in intensity, tailored to your needs. This program aims to rebuild strength in the injured area and surrounding muscles to improve support and stability.
• Functional Strength: Our goal is to restore the strength and the functional strength required for your job demands. This may involve exercises that imitate your work tasks or target specific muscle groups used on the job.
• Stamina & Endurance: Regarding work-related injuries, we will also focus on improving your stamina and endurance. This will help you handle the physical requirements of your job comfortably.

Improve Posture & Body Mechanics

• Analyzing Your Movement: We thoroughly explore your posture at rest and during movement to identify any imbalances or compensations contributing to your injury.
• Corrective Exercises: We will provide a series of corrective exercises tailored to address any postural weaknesses or muscle imbalances contributing to your pain or limiting your functional abilities. 
• Habit Change: We aim to help you make lasting changes to your habits. By teaching you proper form, lifting techniques, desk setup, and other strategies to improve your body mechanics during everyday tasks, we aim to minimize future strain and help you achieve optimal function.

Work-Specific Rehabilitation

• Simulated Tasks: If safe and appropriate, we may include exercises or simulated activities that imitate your job tasks, allowing you to prepare for a successful return to work. 
• Gradual Progression: We will collaborate with you and your WCB case manager to develop a gradual and safe plan for reintroducing work-like activities as you recover.
