When Can I Get Back To Work?
We hear this question on a daily basis. Patients are anxious to return to their pre-injury status, whether in sports, recreational activities or simply going back to work.

Many times this complicated question is directed to a physician during a short visit. The physician is then faced with a complicated challenge if he has not seen the patient recently or if he does not have the time or equipment to determine any restrictions the patient may have. We at RPT are qualified to answer this question.

Functional Capacity Evaluations
We are equipped to perform comprehensive Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE). The FCE is commonly used to assist in establishing impairment ratings, as well as safe return-to-work parameters for injured workers. At RPT, we have a team of physical therapists who have been trained through an internationally acclaimed program to provide pre-work screening services and FCEs.

We have provided care for patients with orthopedic and industrial-related injuries for many years. During the course of therapy, our patients are re-evaluated on a regular basis. Appropriate levels of exercise, work-related and functional activities are introduced to simulate the critical demands unique to each patient's lifestyle.

Currently we are involved in outsourcing services to businesses in our community, including the trucking and food service distribution industries.

We will accommodate your schedule, our pricing is competitive and we accept most insurance plans including Worker's Comp.
