Musculoskeletal injuries are common in the workplace and result in close to 30% of all injuries. These injuries are caused either by accidents or long term use as a part of your employee’s daily routine. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), sometimes called “ergonomic injuries”, occur when the body uses muscles, tendons, and ligaments to perform tasks, often times in awkward positions or in frequent activities which over time can create pain and injury. Overexertion and repetitive motion are the primary causes of these injuries.
At ProCare, our therapists tailor worker’s compensation rehabilitation programs to the individual injury and the demands of the specific job to restore to the worker’s functional capacity to pre-injury abilities. Not only do we aim to restore function, we also provide education on injury prevention and body mechanics to minimize the risk of re-injury, provide resources to allow for a safe and sustainable return to work, and to support both the employee and the employer in achieving the best possible recovery and work outcomes.
