Let’s Get Physical: Unleashing the Power of Physical Therapy in Recovery
Free On-Demand Webinar

Physical therapy, in coordination with other medical treatment following a workplace injury, can provide a wide range of benefits. Some are better known – decreased pain, increased mobility and strength, prevention of further injury.

Some benefits are less known and understood but can have the greatest impact.

Physical therapy becomes a more powerful contributor to recovery when the injured worker is engaged as an active participant in their recovery, restoring their trust and confidence in their own ability to manage their safe return to work and activity.

To help improve your understanding and ability to best leverage physical therapy treatment in effective workers’ comp injury case management and resolution, this webinar will explore and answer:

• What is the importance of PT in a workers’ comp injury?
• What is needed to obtain the best outcome from PT?
• What are some of the additional factors that influence PT outcomes?
• How can the benefit of additional PT be assessed?
• What if PT is not producing expected results?
• What is the role of the nurse case manager in facilitating effective use of PT?
