| Work Conditioning & Work
Hardening
Advanced Physical Therapy offers
both Work Conditioning and Work Hardening programs based on the
guidelines of the Texas Workers Compensation Commission and generally
accepted industry standards.
Work Conditioning is
a single disciplinary treatment program that is highly structured
and individualized in nature. The program uses real and simulated
work activities along with general conditioning tasks to further
the patient's physical condition so he or she can return to work.
Work Hardening is a
highly structured, interdisciplinary program designed to maximize
the ability of the individual patient to return to work. The program
addresses the functional, physical, behavioral, psychosocial, and
vocational needs of the injured worker. Advanced Physical Therapy
uses both real and simulated work activities as well
as other physical conditioning tasks to gradually improve the biomechanical,
neuromuscular, behavioral, vocational, attitudinal, and metabolic
functioning of the injured worker.
