Return to Work and Prevention Services

Employers have a huge investment in their people. NWRA therapists can assist employers in retaining and managing the productivity of their work force by rehabilitating workers who have been injured on the job and by helping employers prevent injuries that can result in increased medical claims, time loss and disability costs.

NWRA physical therapy and occupational therapy providers can be an intrinsically important part of any employer's risk management program. Our therapists can perform ergonomic assessments, workstation evaluations, pre-placement screenings, physical and functional capacity evaluations and consult on job descriptions. We can motivate employees to regain their prior work status and again become productive members of your labor pool. We can provide body mechanics education and self-help training to reduce the incidence of injury on and off the job.

NWRA works with a variety of group health insurers and workers compensation managed care organizations. Ask your workers compensation carrier to contact us regarding accessing our panel of well-qualified therapists near your place of work. If your company is self-insured, contact us directly by asking for Richard Katz at 800-219-8835 (in Oregon) or Ron Anderson at 509-892-5724 (in Washington) about an appointment to structure a set of services tailored to your company's needs.
