Disability Management
A Return to Work Program would be useful if you or your client has sustained an injury and:
- are in need of return to work planning
- work modification suggestions
- legal interpretation of the impact of injury and/or recommendations regarding ongoing rehabilitation
What Sets Us Apart
At Collegiate Sports Medicine we have a collaborative approach to our Return to Work Programs.
- Our Return to Work Programs are created specifically for each individual client & mimic a typical work day.
- We go beyond assessing function and ascertain the reasons for the functional limitation.
“We have a team of Athletic therapists & Physiotherapists working together to gain insight into each client’s injury and the effect it has had on them.”
What is a Return to Work Program?
Return to Work, or Work Hardening programs, are individual programs developed for people who have been off work due to an injury or limitation that has prevented them from completing their everyday tasks at work. Each program is different and is custom made for you. The programs aim to help redevelop strength and motor movements which allow you to return to the workplace safely, while limiting re-injury or putting others at risk. We develop our Return to Work programs with a team approach, including an assessment with an Athletic Therapist or Physiotherapist as well as one-on-one exercise rehabilitation with a Kinesiologist. These programs include exercises and activities that mimic your typical work day. We offer quick access to our Return to Work programs and can begin within one week of calling our clinic. We provide excellent communication and timely reporting throughout our programs. We also offer fully supervised and semi-supervised, 30, 45, & 60 minute exercise rehab sessions with a Kinesiologist, depending on your needs and budget. We take pride in offering Return to Work programs that often result in early discharges.
