Our Occupational Rehabilitation Programs provide proactive treatment to prevent time away from the workplace and/or limit disability. Our programs are sponsored by the Workers Compensation Board, Section B Motor Vehicle Insurance and Long/Short Term Disability providers.

When a client is referred to Portland Physiotherapy Health & Wellness Centre, a comprehensive assessment is completed to determine the extent and scope of their injury. The evaluation results allow us to place clients in the program best suited to manage their disability and recovery needs. The focus of our goal oriented, individualized programs is education, communication and function. Emphasis is placed on maximizing the client’s functional level to allow a more productive lifestyle and/or to expedite a safe return to work.

Case management, outcome tracking and an interdisciplinary approach are the cornerstone of Portland Physiotherapy Health & Wellness Centre's quality assured programs and services. Our Program Coordinator is a Registered Rehabilitation Professional with the Vocational Rehabilitation Association of Canada and has over 20 years of experience as a physiotherapist.

Work Re-Integration Services Include:

“The program at Portland Physiotherapy demonstrates a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach toward the rehabilitation of the persons served. Every discipline is represented in the team meetings, including an occupational rehabilitation physician, a psychologist, an external case manager, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, the program manager, and at least one family member. All have an active role in the interdisciplinary assessment, treatment plan, and goal setting.”
