What Is Occupational Rehabilitation?

Vocational rehabilitation focuses on helping injured workers return to work safely and with peak functional performance while on the job. Rehabilitation is aimed at correcting incorrect work habits that are the cause of repeated injuries and on-the-job injuries.

We accomplish this by forming a specific sequence of functional activities that mimic the duties of the injured worker. Many times, poor postural structure and movement can cause decreased flexibility and muscle weakness, resulting in an increased number of workplace accidents.
Our rehabilitation approach is not only about teaching the patient to perform their job duties safely, but also focuses on the importance of proper body mechanics and ergonomics during the performance of daily job duties.

The small pads that are located in between your vertebrae are called the inter-vertebral discs. These discs are composed of a tough outer layer with a gel-like center. The purpose of these are to both separate and join each of your vertebrae. The discs act as cushions for your bones so they do not make contact while you move. If these discs were to disappear, it would be almost impossible to move your upper torso.
