RTW (Return to Work) Programs

One-to-One Work Conditioning Programs:
At Karp Rehabilitation our work conditioning and work hardening programs are specific to each client’s injuries and occupation. We adjust and personalize each program to best suit the client and his or her job demands. This may involve core stability or pool programs for acute injuries or a conditioning and work simulation program for chronic injuries.

Gradual Return to Work Programs (GRTW):

The most effective way to ensure clients return to their pre-injury job. We teach pain management techniques educating clients on the benefits of stretching breaks, icing, and education on safe lifting techniques. We monitor the GRTW and make amendments as necessary based on the clients’ progress.

Liaise with employer:

We contact employers promptly to confirm Job Duties, Demands, Expectations and Return to Work options. We keep in contact with the employer throughout the GRTW process should anything arise.

Liaise with doctor:

We provide our recommendations to the doctor for approval of RTW plans. Regular updates are provided to each patient’s doctor.

Reporting/Communication:

We provide a detailed functional assessment report to your office in a timely fashion. Clinical records are recorded on a per session basis to monitor the progress and compliance of each client. Updates are provided on a regular basis or with situational changes. A final assessment report is sent to your office at the end of the program.
