Workplace rehabilitation is a structured process that supports a worker’s safe participation in work following an injury or illness. It may include assessments, planning, training, workplace adjustments and communication between stakeholders such as employers, insurers and treating practitioners.
An Occupational Therapist meets with the worker and employer to review job tasks, functional requirements and any barriers to work. The clinician may observe tasks, assess the work environment and discuss suitable duties. Findings are provided in a written report with practical recommendations.
MPSM works collaboratively with workers, employers, insurers and treating practitioners to coordinate return-to-work planning. This may involve clarifying functional capacity, identifying suitable duties, recommending adjustments and supporting communication between parties.
