Physical and Occupational Therapy
Our therapists have advanced training to specialize in both conservative and post-surgical management of all orthopedic conditions including work injuries. Treatments may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, ASTYM, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, iontophoresis, traction, taping, hot packs, and cold packs.
Work Conditioning
Offered through the skill and expertise of Rex D. Brown, MS, CEAS and Rachel Viel, MS, PT, CWcHP after traditional therapy is complete, work conditioning focuses on restorative exercise programs designed specifically to prepare the worker to return to work. Incorporating the basic components of strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination in simulated work activities, work conditioning provides the additional rehabilitation to allow the worker to safely resume duties and help prevent future injury.

Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE)
FCEs assist the physician in determining a worker’s ability to return safely to his/her job. If the results of the FCE reveal the worker is unable to meet the job’s demand, it will assist the clinician in making further recommendations for treatment (which may include Work Conditioning) or a return to work with restrictions and/or reasonable accommodations. Ortho Illinois’ WorkRight℠ providers utilize the XRTS FCE testing system, offering the most objective way to measure effort – of critical importance as recent studies have shown that the biggest predictor of the functional outcome of a FCE is the validity of the effort that the worker puts forth during testing.
