Excel’s Work Hardening program uses a warehouse environment where multiple workers are performing simulated work tasks on a graded scale to increase strength and tolerance to work.
The benefits of a Work Hardening program include:
-
Return to normal daily work schedule
-
Successful transition from off work to regular duty
-
Provides practice of actual work tasks in a controlled environment
-
Objective documentation of safe work levels to reduce the risk of injury
-
Includes instruction in areas such as proper body mechanics, pain management techniques, exercise and education to help reduce possibility of re-injury
