1) We get to know your industry, company and people. Your problems are our problems and we're not satisfied until the patient is better, the ergonomic risk is mitigated, and the culture is healthful.

2) We work for you, not a hospital. Our goals are to save the company money and keep the employees healthy and happy. We answer to our results & ROI, not bean counters.

3) We visit your site and work with your schedule. Have a 3rd shift issue pop up that needs prompt attention? We cover all shifts of our partner companies and strive for 48 hour or less evaluations.

4) We are Industrial Injury Prevention Specialists. We have special education to make sure we know how to follow OSHA rules while leveraging resources available. We assist you in making an action plan & learning from each situation.

5) We aim to work preventatively vs reactively. Don't wait for the shoulder pain to become chronic, the poor ergonomics to result in a surgery or the low back strain to keep your employee out of work. Provide self-help resources, education and rapid response tools to avoid bigger costs and headaches.

From an hour here and there to weekly visits, we tailor our programs to fit your needs, budget and goals.

Most of your workplace aches and pains should remain non-recordable. They should not increase your insurance premiums or cost an arm and a leg to diagnose or treat. The key is to 1) Have a Plan 2) Act BEFORE injury occurs 3) Have a PT on your team and 4) Use a Mobility Routine

Give us a call to get a free consult and recommendations for a plan, injury prevention program and to learn more about how we help companies save headaches and money on injuries.

Top 3 Workplace Injuries We Treat (and how to prevent them)

1. Low back pain: 80% of people will have low back pain in their lifetime. Whether yours happens at work or home, it will affect your ability to function. Low back pain is often a function of movement imbalances or weakness that creeps in with repetitive strain. Using a whole-body screening approach and providing gym access to our patients helps us accelerate their movement progress.

2. Hand & forearm stress: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel and thumb issues are common in manufacturing and physical trades. We use a combo of manual therapies (massage, dry needling, mobilization), upper body and grip training to decrease symptoms and increase work capacity.

3. Shoulder pain: it's tough to get away from a painful shoulder with a physical job. Rotator cuff strain/tears, labral tears and tendonosis are common but very treatable. We focus on assessing ergonomics, bulletproofing the shoulder with exercise and relieving symptoms with various strategies.

Did you know that you have the right to choose where you get your PT if you hurt yourself at work? Just ask for your external referral to be printed for you and bring it with to your first appointment.

How is Industrial Rehab different than typical PT?

Industrial rehab is a specialty field of PT that focuses testing, goals and rehab plans to ensure that our clients get back to work as quickly as possible.

While typical PT is reactive, Industrial Rehab has a preventative function, aiming to save companies money, turnover and headaches by implementing on-site prevention programs and having action plans in place. Aside from prevention programs and work comp rehab, we provide FCE's, POET testing and worker's conditioning after surgical or prolonged breaks from work.

Industrial PT is a great fit for manufacturing, physical trades, and physically-demanding services such as law enforcement or first responders.

The best time to implement a Synergy PT plan is before an injury happens: the second best time is when an injury occurs and you want to make sure you get the small-clinic, specially trained care that you want for your employees.

We provide FREE consults for businesses looking for insight on their current practices and how they can implement better systems for injury prevention and care.

What is "self-pay" PT? How can it save me time and money?

Self-Pay PT is:
Reasonably priced ($65 follow up vs $150+ at the "big box clinics")
Free of hoops to jump through (physician visits, referrals, approvals, etc)
An environment that's 100% focused on getting you better as quickly as possible and providing the resources you need.

We're a perfect fit for:
- High or unmet deductible folks
- People who want to rehab in a gym vs a hospital
- People who don't want the headaches of physician visit, referral, approval etc
- People who want specialized care (trigger point dry needling, pilates rehab, kettlebell/barbell focus)

*Synergy DOES accept worker compensation and auto/liability claims policies

We just opened up some space in our online self-scheduling:

$44,179- That's the average cost of a musculoskeletal work comp claim if it requires physician evaluation. Factor in insurance premium increases (for up to 3 years) and frustrated employees and you'll see why businesses and entities are looking to be more proactive about workplace injuries.

What if you could avoid that claim in the first place and get your employee back to work with some education, self-help tips, and OSHA first-aid compliant care? Even when injuries cross the recordable line, PT has been shown more cost effective with just as good of outcomes as seeking medical care first.

We partner with our businesses and entities to think about their process before an injury occurs, put preventative measures in place, and enact our "Rapid Response Care" when their employee needs to be evaluated quickly.

Smart businesses call us when they have an injury: smarter businesses call us before they have an injury.

We'll come check out your space, policies and risks and give you a FREE report of your companies areas for improvement. Send us a message or comment CONSULT below and we'll come take a look!
