Reconditioning

Reconditioning is a structured exercise program designed to rebuild physical capacity and systemic endurance following injury or medical leave. Led by clinical exercise and rehabilitation specialists, this program focuses specifically on helping you regain the strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular stamina needed to safely return to your job duties.

Core Focus Areas:

• Targeted Strength & Endurance Training: Progressive resistance exercises to rebuild total-body strength, core stability, and physical tolerance.
• Task-Specific Movement: Practicing fundamental physical tasks (lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying, bending, and reaching) required for your role.
• Ergonomics & Body Mechanics: Instruction on movement efficiency and posture to prevent re-injury.

Work Hardening 

Work Hardening is a highly structured, comprehensive rehabilitation program that simulates the real-world physical, environmental, and behavioral demands of a specific occupation. Utilizing a multi-disciplinary approach, Work Hardening addresses both the physical requirements of the job and the broader factors that impact a safe return to work—such as fatigue management, pacing, and workplace stress.

Core Focus Areas:

• Real-World Work Simulation: Replicating actual workplace duties, tool usage, and work environments in a controlled clinical setting. Gradually increasing activity duration and physical intensity to mirror full-duty work shifts.
• Targeted Strength & Endurance Training: Progressive resistance exercises to rebuild total-body strength, core stability, and physical tolerance.
• Comprehensive Care Integration: Combining physical conditioning with ergonomic adjustments, pacing strategies, and psychological readiness.

Helping clients develop routine, stamina, and strategies for sustainable results

This program delivers a supervised exercise program designed to help individuals safely increase their physical activity, build confidence, and ultimately lead to long-term exercise adherence. While similar to reconditioning, each session is shorter allowing for a gradual progression to develop sustainable habits.

Activation can help promote planning and routine for clients and can be appropriate for both physical and mental health conditions.

An FCE provides clear, evidence-based data to guide recovery, accommodation, and safe return-to-work planning.

Cognitive Functional Capacity Evaluation

A Cognitive FCE is a detailed, standardized assessment that measures a person’s cognitive strengths and limitations as they relate to their ability to perform daily tasks, including their occupation.

Physical Functional Capacity Evaluation

A Physical FCE is a comprehensive, standardized assessment designed to objectively measure an individual’s physical abilities, movement tolerances, and overall functional capacity.

• Objective & Evidence-Based: Utilizes standardized protocols to deliver reliable, unbiased measurement of physical abilities.
• Job-Specific Matching: Directly compares evaluated capabilities against target job descriptions and physical demand analyses (PDAs).
• Defensible Reporting: Clear, structured clinical documentation designed for case managers, insurers, and legal stakeholders.

Our specialized warm water therapy classes are led by licensed Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists, ensuring you receive expert, clinical guidance tailored to your specific recovery goals.

By combining aquatic techniques with professional rehabilitation expertise, our therapists help participants safely maximize mobility, accelerate healing, and regain independence in a supportive, therapeutic environment. 

Our aquatic rehabilitation classes harness the natural therapeutic properties of water to optimize the healing journey. The carefully regulated warmth of the pool water gently soothes tight muscles, reduces spasms, and alleviates tension to create an ideal environment for movement. Natural buoyancy significantly reduces weight-bearing stress on joints, allowing participants to perform movements and strengthening routines that may be too painful or difficult on land.
