Work Kinetics specialists are physical and occupational therapists with advanced training and certifications that have spent their careers treating occupational injuries. As part of our no cost, no obligation initial consultation, a Work Kinetics specialist will come to your site to review company injury/accident history, discuss the types of products and services that will best meet your needs, and summarize the programs and services we offer which can be implemented autonomously or with our assistance.
Employee Health Promotion
The past 5 years have seen a dramatic increase in the focus on injury prevention and health maintenance during sport, recreation, and leisure activities. At Therapeutic Associates’ Work Kinetics, we offer a variety of health promotion services to help employees understand how musculoskeletal injuries occur and how easily they can be prevented. Flexibility screenings, strength testing, stretch programs, and our Learning Lunch series are provided by physical and occupational therapists who are passionate about sharing their knowledge of fitness, sport, and injury prevention.
