Work Related Injuries
If you're recovering from a specific injury or aiming to prevent future complications, we understand the importance of a focused and individualized approach to care. At Plan Physical Therapy, we provide expert guidance, hands-on treatment, and tailored recovery plans to help you restore functional movement and return to work feeling stronger and more confident.
Work-related injuries, especially those affecting the neck and back, account for over a third of cases. These injuries stem from a wide range of causes, including prolonged sitting at workstations or traumatic incidents such as falls or equipment malfunctions. Careful evaluation of these injuries requires understanding the mechanism of injury and the functional capacity needed for the patient's return to work.
We focus on reducing pain through targeted modalities, incorporating home exercise and stretching programs, and progressively strengthening and enhancing mobility to ensure a smooth recovery.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a prevalent work-related injury among computer users, caused by inflammation and compression of the Median nerve in the wrist. Symptoms often include tingling, numbness, or pain in the thumb and nearby fingers.
We emphasize ergonomic improvements, such as adjusting keyboard angles for wrist alignment and incorporating wrist pads. Our personalized treatment plans focus on managing pain and preventing further strain.
