About this service

What is work & auto injury rehab?

Injuries from work and car accidents come with extra layers — claims, adjusters, work restrictions, and the pressure to get back to your job. Our work and auto injury program treats the injury and handles those layers, with therapists experienced in workers’ compensation and motor-vehicle-accident care. We document thoroughly, communicate with your providers and adjusters, and build the program around a safe, realistic return to work and daily life. Tim Dominick brings added expertise here as a certified ergonomics assessment specialist who has developed injury-prevention and workplace-wellness programs.

How we diagnose

A work or auto injury evaluation documents the mechanism of injury, assesses your current function, and establishes objective baselines for your claim. Your therapist coordinates with your physician and, when applicable, your claims team — and builds a plan aimed squarely at restoring the function you need to return to work safely.
