We evaluate the injury and your job's actual physical demands.
Work Injury Rehab in Merrillville.
A work conditioning program built to get you back to your actual job, not just cleared on paper.
What It Is
Work Injury Rehab, explained.
A work injury has a complication a weekend-sports injury does not: you still have to go back and do the job that caused it. Generic rehab that ignores the actual physical demands of your role sets you up to get hurt again within weeks of returning.
Our work conditioning program starts with a full evaluation of your injury and your job’s real physical demands, then moves into specific stretches and simulated work activities that mirror what you will actually be doing on shift. We work directly with case managers and employers so your return-to-work plan reflects what your body can actually handle.
Always explained before we begin

Questions, Answered
Work Injury Rehab, no mystery.
Yes. We work directly with employers, case managers, and physicians throughout your rehabilitation and keep them updated on your progress, so nothing falls through the cracks on the administrative side.
That is exactly what work conditioning is for. We simulate your actual job tasks in the clinic first, so we both know what you can handle before you are back on the floor doing it for real.
In most cases, yes. Bring your claim number and your case manager’s contact information to your first visit and we will help sort out the details from there.
