Functional Recovery
Job Site Services:
Relevance and convenience – These are the keys to helping injured employees recover and get back to work as soon as possible. TIPS provides customized management of work-related injuries at your job site. This ensures that recovery care is "job relevant" in a comfortable, familiar, and convenient environment. We work with you to customize our recovery programs to fit your needs.
Return-to-Work Strategy:
Identifying critical job components and risk factors related to the employee and the work-site is an essential part of determining effective treatment programs within a return-to-work strategy. Our Injury Prevention Specialists consult with you, your employee, and other key personnel to ensure that everyone’s needs are addressed before, during, and after the injured employee returns to work.

Our three-tier approach enhances the injury recovery process for all employees:
- Employee Specific: Includes proactive "lifestyle" enhancements such as – weight management, correction of weaknesses and movement compensation patterns, improved circulation, decreased muscle tightness, increased strength and stability, walking and balance issues.
- Job Specific: Addresses changes to job related body mechanics and equipment that supports recovery & prevents re-injury.
- Injury Specific: Incorporates exercises and self help techniques specific to injury type and supporting body movements.
Complete and comprehensive "functional" recovery is an active process that starts with identifying recovery needs and injury causes. We then work with you to develop a functional plan that addresses employee specific, job specific, and injury specific recovery.
