Work Conditioning
Good Shepherd’s expertise and skill in rehabilitation, including work conditioning, puts employees back to work quickly and prevents injury.
What Does Work Conditioning Do?
Work conditioning provides exercises to physically prepare workers for the job at hand. This specialized type of care helps prevent injuries by focusing on endurance and strength tailored to specific job roles in manufacturing, retail, hospitality, health care, construction and other industries.
- Is there bending, straightening, gripping, holding or twisting involved?
- Is there excessive heat, cold or vibration?
- Is there a fixed or constrained body position or continual repetition?
- How much force is placed on small body parts, such as the hand or wrist?
- Does the pace of the job allow for sufficient recovery?
