Work Hardening is a “highly structured, goal-oriented, individualized treatment program designed to return a person back to work.” This program addresses musculoskeletal exercises, functional activities, and worker performance. The Work Hardening Program (WHP) utilizes real or stimulated work activities to restore physical, behavioral and vocational functions.
Work Conditioning is a “work related, intensive, goal-oriented treatment program designed to restore an individual systemic, neuromusculoskeletal (strength, endurance, movement, flexibility, and motor control) and cardiopulmonary functions.” Treatment involves exercises as well as functional tasks or activities.
Work conditioning and work hardening are 4 to 8-week functional programs designed to meet the specific job needs of the patient. Our programs are individualized to treat the patient’s specific injury and dependent on what the treating physician prescribes. The time and length of the sessions can usually be tailored around the patients work schedule.
