Industrial like sports injuries are also unique or specific. They can often be linked to a particular flow or movement pattern associated with the job.
To customize the rehabilitation program, Honsberger Physiotherapy will contact the employer to discuss the job. Often a plant visit will be arranged to visualize the job and offer ergonomic suggestions or strategies to offset the flow pattern and reduce the negative impact on the body.
With companies where we have a more formal relationship, we offer consulting support to lower injury rates making them more profitable by lowering their WSIB claim rates.
The key to an effective work recovery program is prevention. An effective prevention program helps keep injury rates low, decreases time and profits lost to injury, promotes morale, and helps lower WSIB premiums. A prevention program is multifaceted that can involve the following components:
1. Pre-employment screening
2. Functional Abilities Evaluation
3. Worksite and workstation review (including Integrated Ergonomic Assessment)
4. Educational information
5. Work conditioning / exercise maintenance program
At Honsberger Physiotherapy our treatment philosophy is based on the principles of biomechanical balance, normalizing tissue tension and activity specific rehabilitation conditioning programs, to achieve a state of healthy body function and performance. It is because of this philosophy, that we are proud to have been affiliated with many corporate and industrial companies, such as Dacoma - Rimply, Dynatec, and Ceridian to list a few.
