Work Related Injuries

It's not unusual to suffer from a work related injury. Conditions leading to work related injuries range from long hours of computer keyboarding at improper workdesk height to lifting heavy boxes in a company's warehouse without proper back support. Injured workers benefit from physical therapist services from the onset of injury through their return to work.  Early physical therapy intervention consists of treatment for acute neuromusculoskeletal problems and other injuries.
