When you’re injured on the job or are unable to work due to an injury, it can feel like the world is turned upside down – especially for someone with a manual labor-intensive job. We know that this can involve a lot of stress, but we want your recovery to be the least stressful part of getting back to work.

How physical therapists use work conditioning
Many utility workers, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics have trusted Highbar physical therapists with their recovery. Through our work conditioning program, you'll work with a physical therapist to ensure you can tolerate exercising for 2-6 hours - and that you're confident every step of the way. Each session is minimum 2 hours long, but can sometimes reach up to 6 hours in length depending on the patient. This treatment is designed to mimic the work tasks and demands using similar job-related exercises.
