When an employee suffers an injury at work, the employer wants them to receive the best medical and rehabilitative care possible to ensure a successful recovery. At Endeavor Physical Therapy & Wellness, our team of experienced and highly trained occupational and physical therapists offers effective, personalized treatment plans to get an injured employee back to full health as quickly and safely as possible.
Physical therapy aims to minimize or eliminate pain, restore mobility, regain full range of motion, and increase strength. It utilizes a variety of hands-on and equipment-assisted therapeutic methods to address job-specific duties, and this ensures an employee’s physical capabilities upon returning to work.
Physical therapy can be an effective way to help patients avoid unnecessary and expensive surgeries and other invasive treatments. One recent study carried out by Texas-based organization MedRisk found that implementing physical therapy as an initial treatment strategy resulted in more than 70% lower treatment costs.
