Work Injuries

At Boise Physical Therapy 180 we specialize in treating injuries that occurred at work either due to an accident, overuse/repetitive use, or ergonomics and posture. Besides treating traumatic injuries, repetitive work movements can often lead to overuse injuries, just like in sports. We often refer to our patients who have been injured at work as “industrial athletes” and aim to find ways to help them move better and teach them tactics to reduce the risk of further injury. Sedentary or active jobs, faulty posture and faulty movement patterns may cause injury to the neck, jaw, upper back, lower back, shoulders, forearm, wrist, and hand. We initiate our cases with strategies to manage your pain, begin to treat the specific tissue involved, and then slowly progress back to higher-level activities required for your specific job. Using our training in ergonomics at Boise Physical Therapy 180, we will teach you better ways to move to prevent future injury. Similar to treating auto cases, we work closely with your physician, adjustor, case manager, and attorney to ensure the highest quality of care possible. We strive to get you back to your full work duties as quickly as possible.
