If you have been injured at your workplace, the WSIB (Worker’s Safety and Insurance Board) provides health care coverage & rehabilitation treatment. At Physiomobility, we treat all kinds of injuries including work-related conditions and injuries.
We offer personalized assessment, examinations and treatment plans by registered physiotherapists who are familiar with WSIB procedures and completing required forms.
Work-related injuries and conditions are commonly treated by physiotherapists. Not only can our physiotherapists in Toronto assist you at sports injuries, but they can also assist you at work-related injuries.
Work-related injuries commonly treated by physiotherapists:
Our goal is to control pain and inflammation and to rehabilitate your condition with exercise programs and ultimately help you to get back to work safely and equipped with the knowledge to prevent further injuries. We will teach you the best postures and help you with workstation set up to minimize the effects of static postures or repetitive movements on your body. Whether it be lifting technique improvement, education programs or workstation setups, your skilled physiotherapist is able to offer adequate advice and education to manage or prevent pain and discomfort with work.
Work-related injuries range from repetitive strain injuries to muscles and tendons to fractures and mild traumatic brain injuries due to falling or tripping. It also includes lower back pain due to prolonged sitting in the wrong posture, also known as the neck/upper back/upper limb injuries (NUBUL). These injuries can result while sitting, standing, lifting and handling. Although work-related injuries vary significantly in severity and involved area, one common complaint is pain and disability caused by pain and injury.
Physiomobility clinic in the Greater Toronto area provides physiotherapy and chiropractic services for all work-related injuries. For approved WSIB claims, we submit the appropriate Program of Care forms and treat patients within the guideline. The fees associated with these services are directly billed to WSIB.
