Warehouse, construction, healthcare and kitchen work put real load on backs and shoulders. If you are looking at workers' comp physical therapy in NJ, the goal is not just less pain — it is being able to do the job again.
Rehab should look like your job
We ask what you actually lift, how high, how often, and for how many hours. Then we build the program around that: repeated lifting, carrying, overhead reaching, kneeling, prolonged standing.
The most common work injuries we treat
- Low back strains from lifting
- Rotator cuff and shoulder impingement
- Knee injuries from ladders, stairs and kneeling
- Wrist and elbow overuse, including carpal tunnel symptoms
What we handle for you
Progress documentation, communication with your case manager and treating physician, and clear functional milestones so return-to-work decisions are based on capacity rather than a calendar.
Light duty is not failure
A graded return usually beats waiting for full clearance. Returning at reduced capacity keeps the tissue loaded and keeps your recovery moving.
