Injured at work? We rebuild the body for the job.
Work conditioning, work hardening and functional testing for the people who lift, carry and stand for a living, with a written report your employer and adjuster can use.
I am here as…
For employers
For adjusters and case managers
Two programs, one goal
Work conditioning or work hardening?
Both build a body back toward a job. They differ in how close to the job the practice gets. Your therapist chooses with your doctor, and a worker can move from one to the other.
| Work conditioning | Work hardening | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Work conditioningExercise that rebuilds strength, stamina and movement for the general demands of a job | Work hardeningA structured program that practices the real tasks of the job, in blocks that grow toward a full shift |
| Who it suits | Work conditioningSomeone who has finished acute care and needs to rebuild capacity | Work hardeningA worker in a heavy or fast job who needs to rehearse it before going back |
| Where the work happens | Work conditioningIn the clinic gym, with a therapist | Work hardeningIn a task area set up from the employer's job description |
| How a day is built | Work conditioningPart of a day, set by the plan of care | Work hardeningLonger blocks that build toward the length of a shift |
| What the employer reads | Work conditioningProgress against the job's physical demands | Work hardeningA note on each task practiced and how it went |
| How it ends | Work conditioningA release to the work the doctor allows, or a step up to hardening | Work hardeningA functional test and a written return-to-work plan |
On-site program menu
Programs we bring to your floor
Pick what fits the shift. Each one starts with a visit to watch the work, and the scope comes back to you in writing first.
Job demands walk-through
A therapist watches the tasks and writes down what each one asks of the body.
Lift and carry coaching
Small-group coaching at the dock or the line, using your own totes, carts and pallets.
Start-of-shift warm-up
A short routine your supervisors can lead, built around the tasks of that shift.
Early check-ins
A therapist on site on set days to look at a sore wrist or back early and tell the worker and supervisor what to do next.
Job analysis write-ups
The physical demands of a role in plain terms, so a doctor can match restrictions to the job.
Supervisor briefings
A short session on what strain looks like, what to report and who to call.
Functional testing
A test the job can be measured against
A functional test shows what a worker can lift, carry, reach and sustain, set beside what the job asks. It gives a doctor and an adjuster the same page to read.
Lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling at the heights the job uses
Reaching, kneeling, climbing and standing, held for as long as the task runs
Grip and hand tasks when the job needs them
A written report that lists what was tested, how it went and what the therapist saw
From referral to release
How a work injury moves through our clinic
Every case follows the same five steps, so an adjuster knows what comes next without calling.
- 01
Referral and authorization
A doctor, adjuster or employer sends the referral. We confirm who authorizes care before the first visit.
- 02
First visit and job demands
A physical therapist examines the worker and goes through the job's demands task by task.
- 03
Conditioning or hardening
The plan builds toward the job, with progress notes sent on the schedule the claim allows.
- 04
Functional test
A test near the end shows how the worker meets the job's demands.
- 05
Return-to-work plan
A written plan for the doctor, the employer and the adjuster: what the worker can do and what comes next.

Questions
What employers and adjusters ask first
Do I need a referral?
In Kansas, you can start without a referral. Your plan may still ask for one. A work injury claim is different: your employer, adjuster or doctor usually has to authorize care first. Tell us who your adjuster is and we confirm before the first visit.
What does an employer see?
Your employer sees the reports your claim or release lets us send: restrictions, progress against the job's tasks and the return-to-work plan. It does not see the whole chart.
Who pays for a program on site?
An employer who asks for a program on its floor agrees to the scope in writing before we start. Claims for an injured worker are billed to the plan on the claim.
Can you test a worker for a specific job?
Yes. We build the test from the job description or from a walk-through of the job, so the results are set against what that role asks.
Where do you work?
We treat at our Hutchinson and McPherson clinics and bring on-site programs to employers within reach of both. Ask us about your location.
