Ergonomic analysis
Muscatine Physical Therapy Services, P.C has Therapists on staff who are Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialists (CEAS I™). Our PT’s are trained to conduct job-site evaluations designed to maximize productivity while reducing or eliminating worker fatigue, pain and physical discomfort. Our on-Site Ergonomic Evaluations can be performed for any diagnosis or any work task. On-site evaluations can assist employers with productivity issues, such as employee time lost from work, or ongoing or new workers’ compensation injury claims. In the case of an existing compensation claim, an on-site evaluation can assist the medical doctor and insurance company in moving the workers’ compensation claim toward closure. Call us at (563) 288-6787 and ask for Paul Kraushaar, P.T. or Steve Wieskamp, P.T. to schedule an Ergonomic analysis today!
Job Site analysis
Our Therapists will come on-site to view your jobs so we’re able to provide better understanding for the employer, the physician, and our staff of the employee’s work environment when attempting to understand the nature of an injury and when preventing further injury. From our job site analysis, our PT will provide recommendations to the employer on where you can help to increase safety for your employees and increase efficiencies with employee productivity and for your business. The process is a collaborative one with our Therapist working very closely with your Safety, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Ergonomic Teams to make sure we’re providing the best solutions for your entire team and business!
Work Flow Analysis
Muscatine Physical Therapy Services, P.C. will come on-site to evaluate your job site, work flow, and evaluate the physical demands and functional requirements of each job to help injured workers who may be on modified duty, transition safely and comfortably to full duty – while continuing to perform productive work for the employer. Under the direction of our PT, you will be provided with a program that may include progressive conditioning (work hardening), on-site work activities, education for safe work practices, work re-adjustment and potential job modifications. The goal of MPTS is to keep the employee active and productive, and to help employers reduce their lost-time safe options for their injured employee, all with the goal in mind to transition the employee back to working their regular duties, safely and while minimizing further risk of injury.
Stretching & Flexibility Programs
One of the greatest benefits of stretching is that you’re able to increase your range of motion, which means your limbs and joints can move further before an injury occurs. Post-exercise stretching can also aid in workout recovery, decrease muscle soreness, and ensure that your muscles and tendons are in good working order. Our Therapists will come in and work with your management team and employees to create a custom-designed program tailored for your employees. The programs will be designed to implement prior to the beginning of the shift and a cool-down at the end of shift and can be created for individuals or for larger groups. To implement a successful and effective stretching program today, contact us at (563) 288-6787!
Employment Assessment and Education
Our Physical Therapists can provide assistance with new hire employees to prevent injury on the job site. Employees can participate in new hire education to provide knowledge of signs and symptoms of cumulative injury and preventive techniques. Education is specific to industry and the demands of the job. Assessment with lifting and education of proper body mechanics can be provided to decrease employees’ risk of injury and improve employee job performance.
