Functional Reconditioning

The Functional Reconditioning Program provides daily physical/occupational therapy that focuses on intensive patient-specific job simulation. Our patients can include, but are not limited to, post-surgical cases, recurrent injuries and any employee returning to heavy labor. This approach directly supports a successful return to full duty for your workers.

Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE’s)

There are a number of FCE approaches and testing philosophies from which to choose today. This results in much confusion for end users/consumers surrounding the interpretation of these evaluations. Ultimately, the professionals who administer the FCE must be able to justify whatever methodology they choose to referral sources, insurance professionals, employers, attorneys, and patients. Our goal is to provide objective testing, neither biased toward nor against the patient for:

• Determining readiness to return to work after injury
• Performing pre-employment post-offer screening
• Finding the patient’s ability to perform certain types of work
• Making disability determinations
• Performing goal-setting treatment planning for rehabilitation
• Monitoring progress throughout rehabilitation
• Establishing maximum medical improvement
• Determining case closure and more

Our therapists have participated in an FCE Certification course which focuses on the hierarchical components of safety, reliability, validity, practicality, and unity.

At Progressive Therapy Services, we have a team of therapists that will exceed your expectations when it comes to your rehabilitation and recovery.
