Bryn Mawr RehabWorks, the hospital's program for people with work related injuries and chronic pain, brings together an interdisciplinary team to support individuals whose functional capacity has diminished due to an illness or injury. Goal-oriented treatment addresses medical, physical and emotional needs.

From injury prevention to pain management, our interdisciplinary team focuses on supporting individuals whose functional capacity has diminished due to an illness or injury. Goal-oriented treatment addresses medical, physical and emotional needs. Our state-of-the-art facility offers cardiovascular and isokinetic equipment, an on-site therapeutic pool and a work-hardening center that combines physical and occupational therapy with work simulation activities.

Other services include:

• Injury prevention, including job-site analysis, screening after a job offer to assess level of physical demand, lift tests, and employee education on body mechanics and ergonomic principles.
• Rehabilitation for work-related injury, including physical and occupational therapy, stretching, strengthening, aerobic conditioning, and education to expedite return to work.
• Work hardening, which is designed to incorporate regular workday tasks into therapy. Therapies include stretching, strengthening and aerobic conditioning along with real and simulated work tasks, and education.
• Independent medical and/or functional capacity evaluations by our physicians and therapists can help determine an individual’s physical capacities and limitations. Recommendations are made for feasibility of returning to specific jobs or for maximum medical improvement (MMI) status.
