Workplace Health
Your business is unique — and so are your employees. Whether your employees’ roles require hours of sitting at a computer or lifting and moving heavy objects, injuries can occur. Ridgeview Rehab provides a broad range of programs and works with employers to keep their employees in good health. Whether your business needs one service or a comprehensive program, Ridgeview delivers unique, effective and affordable solutions.
Ergonomics and Injury Prevention
Having a medical voice can accelerate results and keep employees healthy. We work with your company to help create a work environment that is efficient and safe.
Job site analysis: An ergonomic specialist will interview employees and assess their work environment for hazards to provide recommendations for improvement, assuring risk is managed before injury occurs.
Physical demands analysis: An assessment of an employee’s job tasks will be completed to provide an objective profile of the physical demands required to complete the job. This is especially beneficial for new hires or an employee returning to work after injury.
Injury Care
Our experts will work to understand the demands of your employees’ jobs and create individualized plans of care to help your staff regain mobility, strength, balance and coordination to allow for return to work and previous activities as quickly as possible.
Acute injury care and work conditioning: Ridgeview provides rehabilitative care for workplace injuries at all of our Rehab locations. Our physical therapists, occupational therapists and athletic trainers will create an individualized program to help employees regain mobility, strength, balance and coordination to allow for a safe return to work and prevent risk of additional injury in the workplace.
Job site assessment: A worksite visit is recommended to evaluate job tasks to tailor clinic rehab specifically to work demands. This visit also connects the medical team to the company — a step that saves time and money for all.
Functional capacity screen: An employee’s abilities are tested during a six- to eight-hour comprehensive analysis to determine restrictions and assist with return to work or job placement after injury.
On-site Programs
Our Workplace Health program has many services available to employers and employees to improve workplace health and safety and ensure appropriate recovery from injury and return to work demands. An employee who acts on personal health needs is an employee who contributes more.
Wellness fairs and speakers: Provide employees an opportunity to explore several areas of health and wellness while determining where their needs and interests lie. Rehab specialists are available to present a variety of educational topics including: appropriate exercise plans, metabolism and nutrition, worksite safety and many more.
Biometric testing: Understanding your health risk is the first step in knowing how to improve it. Our specialists provide biometric testing for employees, as well as education to improve areas such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes risk, body weight and other health conditions.
