On-Site Rehabilitation

Physical, occupational, and certified hand therapists provide onsite therapy for a variety of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Therapists onsite have the unique opportunity to observe employees performing specific jobs and can then simulate work tasks in the clinic to increase return to work readiness.

PRS utilizes a functional approach and the most effective treatment techniques to return employees to work safely and expediently. PRS is a strong leader in rehabilitation, which encourages a team approach among therapists and with the business office.

PRS develops and implements suggestions for industrial clients in conjunction with ergonomics and safety personnel. They communicate directly with physicians, nurses, safety team members, supervisors, team leaders, committee members and plant leaders. PRS believes strongly that direct and detailed communication is the key to avoiding conflicts and ensuring successful program development and implementation.

Therapy and rehabilitation programs are tailored to match the requests by each plant in their scope of work requirements. Therapists will develop, evaluate and update exercise and treatment programs to condition new employees and aid in recovery after injury. Our therapists specialize in functional capacity evaluations and the progression to work hardening programs. They see that protocols are followed for each treatment diagnosis to ensure progressive care and consistent standards of practice. They maintain personnel and therapy records and produce reports for payer sources and business planning needs.

Our stability in staffing and ability to effectively communicate with all plant personnel makes us stand out. We have had the same staff members at our largest industrial client for the last three years and more than 80% of them for the last 10 years. This longevity has allowed us to become an integral part of the plant with daily interfaces with both management and union personnel. We are on a first name basis with much of the plant; this earned trust has allowed us to implement programs seamlessly with buy-in from both management and union representatives. The consistency in staffing has also been key to early return to work and fosters an effective care plan in conjunction with the injured employee. We have been able to maintain our separate identity as a contractual service but also gain the trust through non-judgmental and holistic care with treatment and wellness focused on what is best for the employee within the realms of the plant environment.
