Occupational Rehabilitation Services

Occupational rehabilitation services are a group of programs available to clients who have been involved in a motor vehicle or workplace accidents. Our occupational therapists, physiotherapists and kinesiologists can assist these clients in regaining the necessary physical, behavioural and/or vocational functions for return to either pre-injury employment or other work and to enable the injured worker to effectively self-manage the condition.

At Action Physiotherapy we offer the following occupational rehabilitation services:

• Clinic-Based Occupational Rehabilitation Program (CBOR): The CBOR program is an exercise-based program, which focuses on strengthening an injury in a gym setting under the supervision of a qualified therapist. The goal of the CBOR program is to improve clients’ functional abilities to pre-injury status. When applicable, the goal may also be to prepare an individual for return to work.
• Functional Assessments (FA): A FA is an injury-specific functional assessment. An FA will determine if an individual is capable of working in any capacity and provide rehabilitation recommendations as required.
