Functional Reconditioning as part of OT

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. Our goal is to provide objective testing and therapy, neither biased toward or against the patient for:

 

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

These services are offered at both our Modesto locations. Please call or e-mail for further information.
