These questions allow our therapists to gather information regarding the <\/span>type of injury, symptoms, current activity levels, and job demands. The therapist will <\/span>then complete a physical assessment. This includes observations of movement such as <\/span>specific joint movements, muscle strength, walking, balance, and job-specific activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Work Related Claims<\/h2><\/div>WCB will review the report and communicate if the claim is approved. The number of approved treatments depends on the type and severity of injury or surgery, and typically treatment is approved for a minimum of six weeks. Our goal is to assist the client in returning to pre-injury work levels. The therapist will discuss a treatment plan with the client and recommend the number of physiotherapy sessions that should be scheduled each week.<\/p>\n
