Physical Therapy

Being injured is never ideal but getting injured on the job can be an extra headache. PT is the first step on the road to recovery so injured workers can return to work and life, pain-free as quick as possible.

Whether your employee is recovering from an on the job injury or suffering from chronic aches and pains, our physical therapy team can help. We use an attentive, one-on-one approach to help them get on the road to a faster and more thorough recovery. We also help employers provide pre-employment testing and on-site safety and ergonomic training.

Our licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants focus on relieving pain, restoring function and strengthening the areas causing difficulty. We know a fast and full recovery doesn’t just happen from two or three days a week of therapy, we’ll also provide injured workers with education and tools to use outside one-on-one physical therapy sessionsincluding telemedicine check-ins when needed.

These are just some of the methods we use to get you back to your old self:

The Agile approach to Physical Therapy

Physical and occupational therapy are a growing expense in the management of workers’ compensation claims. In the event that therapy is a solution to returning the injured employee to work, this provides significant value to all parties. However, if therapy fails to produce functional gains and improved employability it can delay other necessary medical or administrative interventions. The result: added costs fail to provide value to all involved.

Agile's physical therapy clinicians partner with employers and payers to provide value through the right treatment, at the right time, every time.

To do this, we have developed a physical therapy program that measures treatment success based on:

The worker’s satisfaction as a customer and their abilities based on self-reported functional outcomes.
Objective functional testing to work tasks at all time points and in all therapy programs throughout recovery.
Prospective mentoring on individual complex cases through utilization management tools.
Customer accountability through reporting that compares performance to benchmarks.

Agile considers all stakeholders in the workers’ compensation system to be partners in the rehabilitation of injured employees. We highly value communication with and accountability from patient to payer, as a key to successful outcomes.
