How We Can Help

Physical and Occupational Therapy

Our physical and occupational therapists work to improve your physical ability and motor skills by developing a treatment plan to condition muscles, restore strength and improve coordination during a recovery period.

Fitness for Duty Evaluations

Therapists screen or evaluate a person’s strength, mobility and functional abilities as they relate to the person’s job description and demands

Work Conditioning Programs

North Oaks designs individualized, work-oriented programs to restore a patient’s strength, endurance, movement, flexibility and function for a safe return to work. We focus on motivation, safety, physical tolerances and worker behaviors.

Functional Capacity Evaluation

The functional capacity evaluation (FCE) is a comprehensive evaluation of a person's ability to perform essential job duties. All North Oaks FCEs are performed using the WorkWell™ System, which assesses strength, endurance, motivation, fitness and physical impairment. A trained therapist evaluates the person’s ability to perform work from physical, medical, behavioral and ergonomic perspectives.

Ergonomic Assessments/Job Site Analysis

To reduce stress and prevent injuries/disorders associated with muscle overuse, our therapists design workspaces and environments to fit a person’s physical capabilities. Therapists offer on-site education to employees on topics like ergonomics, body mechanics and safety.

Audiology Program

Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational issues and the second most self-reported occupational illness or injury. Our highly trained and certified staff provide hearing services that help protect people and ensure businesses meet all OSHA requirements.
