SafeWorks Illinois Industrial Rehabilitation
At the core of SafeWorks Illinois is industrial rehabilitation
… pulling together services and conditioning the employee
to get them back on their feet in a quick and timely manner,
while focusing on preventing re-injury.
It
has been well documented that the longer an injured employee
remains off work following an injury, the greater the chances
are that they will not return to work. Our approach to industrial
rehabilitation is extremely focused and our expert staff uses
cutting-edge technology that provides excellent documentation
for the legal system to positively affect a safe and efficient
return to work.
Work
Hardening and Conditioning
At
the SafeWorks Illinois Return to Work Center, we design work
conditioning and work hardening programs to restore the injured
worker’s quality of life by improving flexibility, mobility,
strength, endurance and tolerance of full-duty work tasks.
In addition, we assist the psychological adaptation in coping
with a work-related injury by applying a variety of treatments
to this process.
